Is my mobo, I'm also looking at a small (20 gig maybe) Sata HDD to run games off of.

I mean do you have to have a special SLI mobo? I'm trying to figure out what my next upgrade should be.

Re: Can you have SLI without PCI-E?

i think maybe in this day and age you would need a SLI board to be able to run SLI,,

unless ofc you have access to some older cards

'Five years ago, SLI stood for Scan Line Interleave. You installed two PCI Voodoo 2 cards in your computer, and one of them rendered the odd-numbered scanlines while the other rendered the even-numbered ones, in 3D mode. SLI wasn't cheap, but it held the 3D performance crown for a surprisingly long time, and the acronym was therefore seared into gamers' brains.'

same as the way you need a crossfire board for ATi cards to do the samething

i think there is a 6600GT thats agp and can run in SLI so you;d have to find a x2 agp slots

I have like 4 PCI slots Can I use 4 PCI cards XD


But do you think I should look to upgrade to a new mobo with sli, get another gig of ram, find another agp card. Also, can I use my P4 processor in boards with sli? I'm completely new to sli :P

Damn, I only got 1 AGP slot and a 6600OC
