I'm looking at upgrading platforms from my 939, opty @ 2.75 - to probably something like a i920 as I would like to keep the system for another few years again. It's still decent for many thing, but it's definately not getting the full potential out of my 8800gt judging by the 3dmark scores. Looking at this chart - it looks like a good idea to look for a board with sli so I can sli my 8800 gt. I would like it for some 3dgaming @ high quality 1680 x 1050, and cost wise looks like it won't bite bad at all - but is this chart telling the whole story??
I'm also guessing I'm going to have to look for a 9800gt and then flash the bios to make the 8800gt look like a 9800gt - but not sure if that's still the case with the newer drivers or not.
