    I just purchased a FORSA 7900gtx 512 for $400 and was planning on building a fx62 sli system untill I found about the release of Intel Conroe with better performance and half the price next month. My questions is now should I keep my 7900gtx card or should I return it and wait untill the end of july when I build my new conroe system to purchase a card that will go along with the Conroe boards as currently I see no sli motherboards for conroe and it may be possible that I could get a better card for cheaper possibly an ati by the time I build my system. What should I do? Is it a smart choice for the price I paid for my card to keep it or should I return it and just wait.

    NV said they are making sli mobo's for conroe.
    even read this early view of a Ati chipset mobo running both SLI and CF on conroe.
    YES BOTH!

    as im not sure what they are for. as coolar does not say, i would assume as much that like vdimm mods for p4c800's its to allow more votltage for the ram or possibly for conroe as coolar does lots of LN2 benching.
