 All in wonders are ATI and therefore do not do SLI (An nVidia thing). They are also not compatible with the nVidia chipset. So I have to find a new motherboard since I already bought my card. The one I found is an Abit, which isn't half bad and still isn't picky about the memory. As for the dual all in wonders, so I can record and watch TV at the same time  Plus they are still 256mb video cards.Good news is since I can use my ram I save $160, and because the mobo is cheaper, I save another 30. All of which can be used elsewhere Gonna order this sunday, after I go to a computer show to pick up a super cool case.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 7 | nice stuff. I would go with a a socket AM2 mobo. As they are discontinuing the socket 939. They actually finally promised the AM2 will be around for a while and may be quad core compatable(don't know that part). It also takes DDR2 memory. If you look to upgrade a little in future AM2 socket is way to go. Not to mention wait till late July ish all AMD processors expected MAJOR price drop. Quote:

I am exceptionally jealous. I want that stuff at tha price.   Although lately I have been wanting an imac so I don't have all the cords and such. With parallels software so I can have a small windows partition and Linux partition. I don't need much as it will need to be able to program compile for school at later date though. Watch pron and surf the web and it will do it all. Dont' know if I wanna spend the money for it though. Sorry for gigressing again NICE system.
