Which motherboard to get? (E6600 )

[Zarkon]

I'm looking at building a system with an E6600 and 8800 GTS. I /might/ want to move to SLI in the future, but probably not for a year or so, at a minimum.

The memory I'm looking at is either: GeIL PC2 6400 CAS4 or G.Skill PC2 6400 CAS4.

I'm probably going to OC, although I haven't done that since the days of the Celery 300A.

Need options, looking at around the $100 mark.

Obviously you're going to need a nforce based chipset for sli. For a little over $100 you're looking at the ABIT FP-IN9 or ASUS P5N-E SLI. Personally, I would spend a bit more and get a 680i LT board.

On a side note my celeron is still running at 464

How about the EVGA one? 122-CK-NF66-T1?

There's only 1 PCI Express x16 slot on that board.

Good point. Looks like either the Abit or the MSI.

what's the difference between:

and

They both look exactly the same. I'm confused.
