Hmm, I wasn't aware that the 975's were doing SLI out of the box. News to me, and I'm running one right now.

I'm not a huge fan of SLI; I'd rather save up and get one really great videocard that hitch together two that are either (a) outdated, or (b) underpowered, or (c) insanely expensive. Those are your three options when the SLI boat pulls into port.

The 975 chipset is pretty great, and the driver support is rock-solid. Asus makes a fine board. If someone on the board has owned the latest nForce board, it would be helpful if they'd pipe up with their opinions ...
