    Motherboard for Core i7 + SLI

    I'm looking for a good Motherboard that supports Core i7 and SLI. It must also be able to run with an ATI X1800XT, since I did not change all my hardware right away.

    Thank you in advance.

    PS: Can you suggest a PSU that could handle i7 and two "higher" GPU in SLI - that is, a future PSU?

    Cool. Thank you!

    Can you also suggest some good RAM? 3x2gb would be nice.

    For RAM, it just depends on what you might otherwise claim. Will you be overclocking, a little or a part?

    1333MHz which I have purchased can be used to overclock a bit, and gives good performance. With 1600MHz RAM you can overclock around 4GHz and often a little over, but then you also have to pay anything more for them.

    The Kingston 2GB sticks are fine, and the price of them are high. You simply purchase 3 of them, you have 6GB.

    About power supply, so you can save a little money by explaining what higher GPU you intend to run. Now I have chosen a 1000W to be safe when you need it, for example. choose 2xGTX295. Choosing 2xGTX285 you can easily be satisfied with a 700w and is somewhat cheaper.

    I am not an overclocker, so the ram need not be easy to overclock. They should just give a good performance and be supported by Triple-channel technology in the P6T Deluxe.

    Then there is the Kingston totally fine. I am not linked to the Deluxe version, and I did not for the reason that it does not support 3-Way SLI. Otherwise Deluxe Edition also quite fine. It costs just a lot more than non-deluxe, so unless you need something specific that Deluxe Edition has / may, so stick to P6T.

    As long as you apply 3 sticks of RAM in the same motherboard it works as Triple Channel.
