I was reading reviews on a new Msi mobo i am thinking about picking up ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130136 )
In the review it said some on had a 9800gtx that they had on the board, i google'd this but i didnt find anything only places to buy it, On the mobo description it says its crossfire ready but im not a big fan on ATI. I would like to get this board But im not sure if its sli supported, so will some one fill me in?,
Thanks

it is a crossfire only board. if you are building a gaming computer then intel would probably the better choice. why dont you like ati? their cards are really good right now.

i meant "their" not "there". ati's cards are doing very well right now. the 4850 is faster than the 9800gtx and the 4870 is faster than the gtx 260. i cant find any good sli boards for amd. the one that i found had one x16 slot and one 8x slot. that means that you would not get the best performance. i would not go with a phenom just because you haven't had one before. would wither wait for the new deneb core to come out in December or get intel. from what i have heard deneb could improve performance up to 20%. so it might be worth it to wait for that if you want amd.
