Getting a new motherboard...question:

So, I don't know too much about the new cards, but we're building a new box and right now this motherboard looks good except that it seems to have one PCI-E x16 slot and two PCI-E x1 slots.

Am I wrong in assuming that if I want to, say, purchase two 8800 GTXes in the future and run them in SLI, that I will need two PCI-E x16 slots (I'm assuming that's the larger brownish slot)?

    I think you're pretty limited to the nVidia 680i if you want Dual 8800GTX cards. No other motherboards will be doing dual 16x PCI-e

    Ahh ok, thanks.

    Is that, also, the only Nvidia DX10 card that supports SLI? Or will the lesser-quality ones support it too?
