You could fit two 8800GT's in there, but one of them wouldn't be able to breathe.. so NO SLI!! If I were you I'd risk the jump to eVga and their nforce 750i FTW. It's not expensive and a very good board. But before you buy something always check the reviews from people who have bought it on for example www.newegg.com and off course on the forums too.

I haven't checked your specs yet, but make sure your PSU provides enough power as well.

Hmm... the asus link takes for ever to load.. what was the name of the board?

I saw some of those boards you are talking about but this one seems a little better,
Also has 2 PCIe 2.0 16x slots and 1 PCIe 16x slot and it comes with a sound card.
