lol. well..... yeah.... why did you get a board with both AGP and PCI-express? yeah, it would prevent you from needing a NEW video card..... but if you'd read up on it more, think just about everybody who talks about those boards say the AGP slot on them is for temporary use, and is not meant to be used for extended periods of time due to the fact that it COULD damage the video card that's in it. or somethin like that anyway.
and yeah... i wasn't planning on getting a SLi setup right away. shoulda been able to figure that much out when i said i had a $500-550 budget. that wouldn't be enough to buy the 2 7800GT's. in the future i plan to have SLi.... maybe with the next-gen cards if possible (hopefully i won't need ANOTHER new motherboard then...... stupid AMD and it's new socket just about every other month or 2), but for now i'm just looking at the A64, motherboard, and a single 7800GT.
edit: oh, and Lee.... if you know of/can find me a good mobo, cpu and 7800GT for around $500-550, by all means post links to the hardware. preferrably from the same website though.....
