Replacing a mobo that bit the dust and I'm looking at getting this. Does anybody have any experience with it? I'm looking at specifically getting an nVidia based mobo for Hybrid SLI. I'll be matching this with a 9800GT, would it be worth it? Rest of the parts are Q6600 and 2x2GB DDR800.

Thanks.

From the Nvidia website the 9800GT is not supported for hybrid SLI.

Is the 9500 or 9600 supported?

Correction. nVidia screwed the pooch in Hybrid SLI this time around.

9300 supports Hybrid SLI with lower cards, but not HybridPower with higher models.
9800 supports HybridPower with 7x0a/8x00 integrated, but NOT Hybrid SLI at all.

In fact, NV has already discontinued HybridPower altogether, claiming that "they are happy with idle numbers put out by current high-performance parts." Yes, I'm happy that a GTX280 "only" idles at 30W- lower than any other card short of the 9600GT. But you know what? That's still a candelabra light bulb that's burning as long as my computer is on, even with a blank-screen screensaver.
