A8N-E is not SLi and is good for overclocking.......
A8N-E Sli is SLi and is good for overclocking even though it is not good as A8N-E......but the diff is very very low,....
But as far as i know A8N-E costs 5.5k and SLi costs 6.5k..

so u r not going for an sli combination..then why go for an sli baord..take the a8n-e

Even if you plan to go for an sli , 2 7300s would make a crap combination

I suggest dat u take A8N E along with a 7300GT.
The 73GT scores better than a 6600non GT nd a near to a 6600GT.
GT means a lot more yaarr....

see it to believe:

Nope u cannot add different cards in SLi they have to be identical.....
X2 7300GT......u cannot add 1 7300GT and 1 7600GT....
Yes u can use one card with the both.....
For the ram..;.
Get 512X2 (SAME model,same memory)
or 1024X2 ''
and put them in dual channel....
