Thats what I was just about to buy when I started thinking of nForce4 with SLI boards comming out. Like the Asus A8N Delux, etc. I didn't plan on upgrading my video card but i'd have to if i did get that board with PCIe. I was thinking of getting two 6600GT's and using them in SLI. But, a 6600GT doesn't seem like much of an upgrade to my Radeon 9700. I also don't know if SLI with two 6600GT's would make it like i'd have 256mb video ram or just 128 like one card or if the fact that the 6600GT's OpenGL 1.5 compatible and most newer cards are OpenGL 2.0 compatible. I don't know if any new games are using or are going to use OpenGL 2.0 anytime soon or if it even matters. I'm also not sure if that Fortron would be enough for a system like that. I'd have to check all the numbers out I guess... i'm sure its fine...

What are your thoughts?
 
well, 6600's are available for AGP now, so if you're wanting to wait a bit on that Video Card update, you can use your current card for a while.

AGP probably won't go away for a couple years at least, kind of like how VL-Bus card stuck around for awhile.
 
Cept I wont be doing SLI with AGP. That would make the 6600GT a useless piece of trash. One I would not consider wasting money on ;)
 
I suppose I could wait for an nForce4 PCIe mobo and get an x700 to hold me over untill next Gen ATI.
