 EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 Intel Motherboard is a huge motherboard, however it perfectly sized for a full tower ATX. This Intel motherboard comes with 3 slots for video cards, 2 slots for sounds, and they work very perfectly. Of course, that video card slots support for SLI, but not like ATi Crossfire, SLI still doesn’t support multi-monitor yet. This motherboard is originally shipped with P06 BIOS, if you want to upgrade to P07, be carefull. Some of reviews mention, with Intel E6700 2.66Ghz and P07 BIOS, this motherboard only reach 3.2 Ghz. However, with P06 it can reach up to 3.33 GHz. If you wonder what the difference between 680i and 780i is, actually they are identical, except nVidia added two more upgrades, nForce 200 chip and of course, 3-way SLI. The nForce 200 chip is essentially an additional chip to handle PCI Express 2.0. It doesn’t really help the 3-way SLI function but does boost performance in SLI configuration.
