Try this. It has 2 PCI-E x16 slots (SLI-capable). It also has HD audio, 8 (!) rear USB ports, etc...

but its: PCI Express 2.0 x16 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x8...

I was wondering if that affected the graphics speed much.

Mine:

It's lovely. Got it on sale at Fry's for $100. Newegg has a nice rebate on it, though.

DDR3 and Core 2. They shouldn't go together yet, even though DDR3 RAM is getting cheaper and cheaper. Still better to go with the EP45-UD3L korby suggested.

None of them have an SLI chipset. They only support CrossFireX. NVIDIA didn't license Intel to allow vendors to integrate the SLI chipset into their Intel northbridge, only on the X58 motherboard series. Some of them have both 3-way CrossFireX and SLI support Very Happy

I would just stick with your current motherboard at the moment (750i SLI). It's not bad, and you shouldn't upgrade unless you're experiencing stability issues with the motherboard itself.
