Posted this in graphics card forum too but more opinions helps since it covers both issues!
I have been looking at the Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4 Intel X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 but it has recently occured to me that this does not support SLI and I plan to get a 8800 GTX.
I am not a heavy gamer (the only game I currently play is command and conquer 3) but I do have a 24inch monitor and do enjoy full HD movies.
Based on my uses do you think another graphics card (and therefore an SLI motherboard) is something I will ever need?
I only ask becuase I am hesitant to get an nForce 780i instead of the seemingly trustworthy Gigabyte due to the reviews not being very positive in terms of drivers etc.
Thanks
