Blabla, you are the one who seems drunk. Read it again and think! If you have a certain amount of money to spend on a new rig and you shell out a lot for a mobo, cpu, and triple-channel ram then you will not have as much left over for a top-o-the-line graphics card. Get it?

makes a mighty fine bang-for-buck gaming rig. never see benchmarks nor buying guides for those....

"A higher-priced platform will stop you from buying better graphics cards"

Wtf are you drunk.. what does this sentence even mean ? There are Tyan boards that support SLI atleast.
