Okay, I know it may seem like a dumb question, but if I get another 8800GT, but of a different brand, will they play nicely? I have the BFG 8800GT OC right now, if I get the EVGA 8800GT, will they be able to SLI, or would I have to go with another BFG 8800GT?
 
They should play nicely together. SLI FAQs should ease your thoughts about what works and doesn't. ;)
 
You will have no problem. However, I would highly recomend that you buy the same card for the reason of resale value, easier for warranty purposes, and for support, it might be less of a headache. And nothing looks better than matching hardware :D

Thank you very much, that is very helpful.
Let me ask this now, I know this may not be the right place, but what is a good, cheap, motherboard that will support SLI? The BFG is wide and takes 2 slots, the EVGA will only take one. I need LGA 775 socket and at least 4x240pin mem slots. I cannot spend more than $100 on it, but would prefer to spend even less. I am okay with an open-box from newegg, so any suggestions?
