I was wondering if with that motherboard, to run SLi could I buy 2 of these?;

I get confused with the x8 and the x16 PCIe stuff. On that mobo website it says get 2 identical PCIe x16 so would this work?

Single PCIe x16 will run at 16x speed, SLI mode enabled and the two cards will run x8 bandwidth on both.

[EricM9104]

Actually, two of those cards, the two will both run at x16 speed.

Thanks, do you know by any chance if I could run this ram

with that mobo?

[EricM9104]

Yeah. Should be able to. ASUS Memory QVL says the 2GB model of that RAM is compatible, so I reckon the 1GB model should work.

Thanks bro... I am thinking of ordering that mobo tomorrow, there is only one place on the internet that I can find it...

personally instead of the sli dulux id try to find a different board.

Dont get me wrong that board is great, and I only use asus and dfi boards, but that board is old, but still good.

Id at least try to step up to a mobo with ddr2 memory.

Unless you currently got a socket 939 processor and dont plan on upgrading your processor.

But otherwise, yes that ram, and video cards will work with that mother board and give you a nice gaming rig

good board...that particular one would run the sli at full 16x mode unlike others like emat said, 1 card would run @ 16x but sli would run 8x.

Well I thought about it and I dont want to go through the hassle of getting something that out dated and if something were to go wrong and I needed to return it and they didnt have any left then I would be screwed... So I am just going to get the 7950GT AGP (Last nvidia card made for AGP) 512mb GDDR3 memory with a little over 500Mhz core clock so it will be nice... 2 extra gigs on top of the gig I already have, Corsair XMS series of course, I wouldnt mind a new computer, but most of these things will keep me above water for the new games for a bit... Once that is done then this will be a FAST work computer hahaha.
