New Performance PC Build - Got A Great Deal On 2 8800GT's, No Options For Mobo's?

[poulti]

Due to some recently developing issues with my aging pc, I have to make the move to build a new system sooner than I had hoped (wanted to hold out until Penryn's were readily available).

To start things out, after getting a call from a friend about an amazing deal, I grabbed 2 8800GT's earlier tonight, expecting that running those in SLI would cover my needs for continued gaming with World of Warcraft and Hellgate London.

Now, after doing a lot of research tonight, it would seem that there is no motherboard worth buying that supports SLI, and also would run 45nm procs. It would appear I might have made a big mistake with my purchase of the 8800GT's. Is there any hope?

if i was you i sold the second 8800gt sli isn't really what you would expect from it,and i would buy an X38 chipset based motherboard welcome to the forum btw

I have to admit, that in the current market, an X38 chip set would be great, but say bye bye to sli. (I am also with weasel on this one, SLI looks cool and does give power, but the complexity and instability, coupled with the 50%-80% boost in power for double the price, leaves me less enthusiastic). So sell that lovely piece of machinery (Great card, beats my 8800 gts 320 hands down).

So since waiting doesn't seem to be an option, I'd lose the SLI. I guess you actually wanted a solution that didn't involved returning it or selling it :P.
