eVGA nForce 780i SLI
$200.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Designed to handle multiple nVidia graphics cards and make sure communication between them is maximized. BIOS is very easy to use, ideal for first-time overclockers.
The Cons:Depending on the case size it's going to be very difficult to fit a 3rd video card in. CMOS can be buggy until you install the latest firmware. Very picky about RAM, often get unexpected compatibility issues.
