I currently run a Radeon 4850, however I want to buy a new board that supports SLI and run 2x 8800GTS 640MB cards. Is that possible to do? What would be the best SLI motherboard for that?

Thanks

2x 8800GTS 640mb won't be much of an upgrade over the 4850, if at all. You should probably just get another 4850 and crossfire them.

The 4850 is on par with a 9800GTX. The 8800GTS is weaker than a 9800GTX. So I fail to see how that new setup (2x 8800GTS) would be an upgrade for you.
If you were going 2x 9800GTX however, then it would be an upgrade.
