Dude don't go for SLI unless you plan to SLI 2 6800Gt's ... if you plan to SLI  6600GT... it's better you buy one 6800 ultra or Gt...look at the SLI board after installing the Card you got hardly any place for normal PCI cards alredi....put one Audigy zs there,..gone...normally a 6600GT's fan will encroach onto the next PCI slot..... don't get SLI unless you plan to SLI the HIGHEST end card...  because 2 SLI cards give you lots of Power, but also cost you lots of power and create lots of heat...... In my opinion SLI isn't that good an idea,  DFI overclocks better but Abit offers better package.., at lyp i think you can find Fatal1ty for RM630, DFI around RM700,... but if you really want SLI... I think DFI lanparty is the only way to go.

But the 6600GT SLI is so much cheaper than 1 6800 Ultra. N most reviews say that 2X6600GTs r as good n even better in some aspects than the 6800 Ultra. Actually they had a rig at the recent PC fair with 2X6600GTs n the graphics were just awesome. Framerates were smooth as butter even on really high settings. I was glued to the rig for like 10 minutes playing NFSU2 on it.

6800ultra works out of the box while 6600gt x 2 is not. What is the point spending rm1600 on a graphics card just to do some benchies and play few games. Might as well go for a single 6800gt that is compatible with all the benchies and games. Furthermore heat and space are always an issue. If you want to go SLI, I strongly suggest 6800gt x 2 or 6800 ultra x 2. 6600gt x 2 is a big no for me. But then, it's just me...

since i dont want SLi....

the reason of gettin something is our own preferences...not to condemn anybody but due to many comparisons which is how to say.."a bit bias" lets us stick to the topic back....

this fella (syazone) really likes the Abit Fatality Series much more than DFI...since he can read (of course if not he wouldn't post in this forum) is enuff by just stating what does he wants and not what we wants....he wants to know what does he can do if he buys this Fatality board...why must we ask him to get a DFI LP since he said aledi he dont want SLI...he is ready to forked out money to get the Fatality let it be...no point in forcing him to get the DFI if he doesnt want...

Well (DFI promoters)...we know for sure that this fella will lose his money big time...well he dont want to listen then there is no point we tell him no more...showing what DFI can do also doesn't help in making up his mine for a DFI LP...Yes we (me myself) knows what DFI can do...let us give this guy a break buy letting all the AN8 Fatality guy's tell him what the Fatality can do...If he's gonna rugi but what to do...

syazone...listen to ur heart n follow ur budget...but i just want to tell u one thing about desire...


firstly what do u want to do with ur board...if u want cool features plus good looks i then know why did u choose the Abit Fatal...but then again the DFI boys keep on saying DFI "bla,bla,bla,bla"...so do you know why we keep on saying that...i know and u know...but ur heart is with Fatality...so go for it n never turn back...

One thing i wanna say is...

if u wan to stay stock standard...get a MSI Neo2 or Abit AV8..

if u want to play hard....then go for hardcore stuffs....which is hardcore stuffs u may ask...then browse around n u'll know....

if desire that u want...ask around ppl...then accept what they say...but dun accept what they ask u to do...get a Fatality...and make us look wrong...

p/s:there is no such thing like going fast cheap...there is only fast n expensive...
like those fuel saving term..."jimat minyak kuasa bertambah"...well f*** them...there is no such thing in this world....same goes to computers and everything else..."good stuff not cheap, cheap stuff not good..." smile.gif

anyway gud luck n happy shopping.... thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

well...actually the SLI term are ment for two type of categories...

1.The no/less budget clans...."Buy one now,get another one later"....

2.The alot of budget clans...With the power of 2xUltra's I'll become the number 1 in LYN Benchmark bla bla bla.....

Honestly, this board has been continuing to impress me. I hope it's not as fussy as those DFI's. Vdimm is actually running on what rails tictac? can be adjusted jumper wise like those DFI's?

as for now:

Abit - Unproven
DFI - Alot of bugs regarding bios n ram sets
MSI - Got Potential in oveclocking, but maybe components are still weak
Gigabyte - Powerfull yet no ppl buy...n also unproven
ASUS - Hahahaha...came out wif a mobo that talk only but which discrase its own reputation..
