[LA_MERC_Shadow]

Ok guys, I'm going to upgrade my video cards since one of them went out on me and they are in sli. This is what I'm looking at

AND since Im doing that I'll complicate the issue with upgrading my mobo since mine is crap and I cannot get 4 gbs to run on my board no matter what OS i run. I've checked the forums on my mobo and it's definitely that. Here's the mobo I'm looking at.

Any suggestions? I'm not set on either for sure, I just started looking.

Thanks, DJ

Daaaaannnggg... that's a sweet looking Mobo!

Other than to express how cool the MB looks, I thought I would chime in the video card. I picked up an XFX branded 9800GT (which looks identical to that one). It runs a little hot, so make sure you have good cooling. Using a single card, I run everything at 1920 x 1200 (COD4, Left4Dead, Titan Quest). I'm sure 2 of them will churn the WoW graphics pretty well.

Looks kool Shadow. I say go for it. I actually scoped out those cards last monday.

It looks like the EVGA mobo's have gotten better reviews.

Also, if you replacing both of your video cards, you might want to look at something like this for a single card and then add a second one later.

WOW that's one hell of a video card. Might do that. Stage the upgrade.

Didn't really look at the EVGA mobos. And the only problem I've heard on that MSI is sometimes it's got problems with 4Gb of RAM. This is cheaper but no Sound blaster card, but I already have that on my current so I can just switch it over. Thanks, Toby
