Has anybody done 4-way sli with this board? If so, how did it go? And where can I find 128 gigs of Ram for this monster?!

You can use this for adding another card, but this only supports 1x speed, you will be running a 16x card at 1x which will lower your memory bandwidth. Also, I'm not completely sure this supports SLI or CrossFire configurations with the differences in speed.

I personally regret not going with the M5A99 for 2 reasons. I already had 2 Nvidia cards I planned to SLI and found out this board only supports cross fire. One of the sata ports is blocked by my video card so I am limited in adding drives since I am already using 4 ports.

It does support SLI. Just make sure it provides enough wattage for the cards you want to use. The 850G2 could be a better bet if using power hungry video cards.

Mine works great with it and I have overclocked. The board is a beast and I have had nothing but a positive experience with it.

YOU BETCHA! Running (2) Gigabyte 280X's on three monitors! It truly is one of the better 990FX boards out there.

They do not run SLI. If you were to buy 2 of these I'd rather spend that money on one GTX 980. The 980 is equal to or greater than, performance wise, than two of these.

Uncertain as to what you ask by "full"?... as far as performance, I love this board. I'm running an AMD Quad Core A10-Series APU with Kingston ram. Windows?... not so much :P

Yup will do the following, dual x16 or x16, x8, x8!!! :D I love this board!

David, I SLI 2 Nvidia GTX 780 Ti's and they work like a charm with this motherboard.

You can use this card in SLi. Be sure your motherboard supports SLi and that you have a power supply capable of running two video cards in SLi along with other components you have connected.

Yes, this can run SLI by itself. I was running 2x EVGA GTX 465's running 2 6 pin and 2 4 pin. If you were running 4x 6 pin, might need to get an additional or adapters.

You should be able to use one 8gb stick but I have two of these boards and I have had problems using 4gb sticks but i've never used two of them at the same time but I know that it's just a bit more that a coincidence that both brand new sticks of 4gb did not work in either board. So i'm not sure if it will work for you or not. I use two 2gb sticks on both boards.

I bought this motherboard for my media computer, so I use it often. When I installed 4GB total, in all four slots, it probably overloaded the memory bus, which led to very poor performance. You might get away with only using 3 out of the 4 slots. Or you might need to update the bios. I also have a fairly decent video card, which could also be part of the problem.So on paper, you should be able to install 8GB of RAM, but in reality, you might not be able to. It is old technology, so you might have a hard time finding a useful bios update. Good luck.

Yes, there's plenty of room for 3-way SLI. See here http://screencast.com/t/EqNZmMzh My case has Eth and Sound cards in lower PCI ports, without them extra 2 graphic cards should go in nicely.

Yeah, I think that your setup is good. I haven't had great luck with Msi motherboards, but I have typically bought the lower end ones. Your ram is perfect for now, but won't be enough in about a year.

Hi.. it goes work fine for you, and as told here, take care with SLI grafical boards and number of acessories working at same time on USB, eSATA, ...
