Based on the NVIDIA NF4 SLI Intel Edition chipset, the Abit N18 SLI supports Hyper-Threading Technology, two PCI-Express X16 slots for NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface (SLI), four (4) 240-pin DIMM sockets and dual channel DDR2 667 non-ECC un-buffered memory up to an astonishing 8GBs! This sensational mainboard also supports NV SATA 3G RAID, NV GbE LAN, NV Firewall, USB 2.0, ABIT µGuru™, ABIT Q-OTES and AudioMAX. If you crave power, speed and incredible performance in an SLI-ready platform, the Abit N18 SLI is the motherboard for you!


NVIDIA® SLi™ Multi-GPU Support
Dramatically scales graphics and gaming performance by allowing two graphics cards to operate in parallel and share the work load.





Dual DDR2 667
(Maximum memory capacity up to 8GB) To obtain the best performance from DDR2 memory, the NI8 SLi supports the Dual DDR2 667 memory standard, allowing users to optimize system performance when overclocking both CPU and memory.




NVIDIA Firewall
NVIDIA Firewall protects your PC from intruders by filtering unauthorized traffic. Integrated into NVIDIA nForce4 MCPs, it provides professional grade traffic inspection capabilities, instant on protection, advanced management features. NVIDIA Firewall will also utilize the NVIDIA ActiveArmor secure networking engine.

I asked for an opinion on the mobo jam, not your personal insults, so take it to somebody who cares. I made the second post because it gave more info then my original first post. So anybody else who wishes to help me other then flame me, please reply and let me know your expert opinions.
