The second one doesn't have SATAII support. THat's the main difference I could find.

ok cool thanks. i looked at the manufacturers info on this and it said "SATA speed up to 3Gb/s" on both of them. and really the only difference i saw was sli.

 

[TRDCorolla1]

Yeah, and SLi too. Forgot about that. The best one is this one. It supports everything from SATA I and SATA II, SLi, USBs, good OCing, etc., etc.

whats the difference? i really cant tell. i compared the two on newegg and found no real difference. all i found was that they have different lan chipsets and that one is $9 more than the other. but other than that, i see no difference.

also, this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813136152 the ultra-d, has 2 pcie16x slots. but why? is there a way to make it sli? sorry, its just that i find it kinda dumb to have 2 of those slots without sli
thanks

The two PCI-e x16 is for SLi. The two video cards go into each slot and the SLi bridge connects them together.

The more expensive one supports SATAII while the other one doesn't.

i kno it has 2 pcie16x for sli, i was just thinking that its kidna weird/dumb that the ultra-d has 2 of those slots but doesnt have sli capabilities. sorry for the confusion.

 

[Gamingfreak]

correct it doesnt but these boards have been looked at and there is one small difference...a connection between to places that gives it SLI and the ultra D can be easily made to be an SLI motherboard if u just connect the 2 points with a simple pencil mod then u can run it in SLI as long as u can get the bridge to connect the 2 cards

 

[badninja3]

oh ok. well, i'd rather spend $30 more on the pre-sli'd board, than have to buy the bridge and solder the 2 points, nd knowing me, i'd prolly f**k the whole thing up... trust me
