I havnt been keeping up as much the last few months and I was wondering what the cheapest SLI mobo is that will do 450 and still have dual 16x lanes.

Most of the cheap ones like the 650i's are 8 and 8 and I dont really want that. Huge FSB isnt a real concern either, probably sit around 400 with my e6600 thats here collecting dust. I ran into a deal for a couple 7900gto's so i said what the hell ! Problem is I dont want to spend alot on a mobo and am debating on selling one of the gto's and just getting a cheap P35 mobo... kind of torn, I know with my tastes I will want both card when dealing with 1680x1050 with AA and coming from a 8800gtx, but on the other hand I dont game that much anymore anyway.

Right now I am just having a hard time finding the mobo that will do 16 on both lanes and not cost $160+

haha funny thing is I got rid of mine already lmao


does anyone know if two 7900gtos will be bottlenecked at 8x instead of 16x?

I understand maybe certain benchmarks may show small percentage lower, my concern is mostly with gaming though.
