Yes, its new Nvidia 3-PciE board..

You should wait 2 weeks and buy 3 GeForce 9800GX2's! Godly luck is then very expensive!

site says it only supports 8800 models

It's not the chipset, it's just that the 8800GTX and the Ultra were the only ones that support tri-SLI at the time due to being the only ones that had two connectors on them.

So... Wait, Could you SLI out to 2x 9800's to a single monitor, then have a 3rd 9800 going to a secondary/tertiary monitor?
(Because Im pretty sure the SLI Setup only allows support for One monitor...)

Should have waited and got a Rampage extreme or P5E3 premium. Enjoy your mediocre overclocking and crappy SLI scaling as well as shite vista driver support. I hope for your sake nFarce chipsets don't still fry RAM like they used to.

OP here.. you can if the third card is an ati card... nvidia doesn't play well with its own kind when it comes to a second display... i use a POS ati 600 card i bought for 20 bucks...

on many of the multi PCI-e slot boards, the slots past the first two don't necessarily get a full bandwidth pipe. I don't know about this board, but there was one with 4 graphics slots I was looking at that said if you put in 3 cards they run at 16x, 8x, 8x and if you put in 4 they all ran at 8x.

on the 650i (with the exception of the asus p5ne-sli plus) a single slot will get 16x bandwidth... sli will get 8x8 bandwidth... on the 680i slots 1 and 3 get full 16x16 bandwidth... the middle slot gets 8x bandwidth... on the 780i all 3 slots get 16x bandwidth...

on intel chipsets, the p35 bearlake chipset gets 16x in the first slot and 4x in the lower slot... even in crossfire mode... the x38 chipsets and newer get a full 16x16 in crossfire mode... crossfire platforms earlier than the p35 get 8x8 OR 8x4 while in crossfire but some get full 16x in a single card configuration...

gskill gbhz's are also good d9's if you can find them... more expensive than the crucials but still excellent clockers...

I have the XFX version of this VERY MOTHERBOARD.
I would have gotten the EVGA if the store carried it. But hay, I am an nvidia whore, nuthing bettar.
Luckily Vista just put out some updates that made this series work better with it, I have had some serious issues running this bitch with just vista. Pissed me off, but call of duty 4 runs like a little bitch in heat!
