Best check out pics of the boards not all of the P55 motherboards have Sli Capability, the Asus P7P55D Pro does & looks like theirs enough room, could put the PCI card in the far left slot.

Check out all the pics of motherboards, thats what I would do then choose from there & make sure the motherboard has Sli function as some of the cheaper boards only have Crossfire.

Hi Monster ninja,

just a quick question, how come your using a PCI NIC? Is it a killer NIC or something special? . . . is the onboard giga LAN no good for you?

That Asus is computer porn, I might buy one and just put it on my wall

As for which board, it says in the discription wether the support SLi or not, typically they are Crossfire or both crossfire/SLi.

Get a gigabyte only one with a good uk based rma system.

Asus looks like the better layout. With both the Gigabyte and MSI boards a PCI card might end up blocking the fan on the 2nd card in SLI, depending on its length/height.

Wireless LAN maybe.
