I duno if this has been already posted, but yeah. I already saw someone post pictures of this, but here's an actual review on it in usage. Looks pretty cool, another nVIDIA based board for Intel, so SLI with Intels. I wonder if they'll release AMD verisons soon.

You know I have been wondering why you really need (2) $400 video cards? I mean I have run battlefront with full everything on a 6600gt and it works just great(no slowdown). Am I missing something? What game would tax the 6600GT? And now quad sli?

4 x $300 or $400 video = $1200 to $1600......

Try F.E.A.R. on high everything, and AA AF, etc. I have seen 7800GTXs totally taxed on that game... so yeah... SLI would help, quad SLI? Overkill, considering Nvidia does not support quad vids and does not have drivers for them, thus the quad-sli mobo is worthless for the time being.

I will have to try that and see.

But what is the difference between the 2. I mean is there a huge difference between running a $200 card(with most of the stuff high) and playing at a good framerate, then playing with 2 $400+ cards with everything on and still good framerate? Can you tell the difference?
