I would consider their maximum compatible ram speed. You want a board that's going to let you use the fastest memory every MHz counts.

Doesn't it cut the speed of data transfer of each card in half when in sli? I believe that when you connect two pci express x16 cards it drops them down to 8x no matter what there are no motherboard / cpu that will run them both at x16. So you lose speed but I have no experience with this but im assuming your frame rates would drop in sli BUT you would be able to crank up the graphics to get double the graphics quality. From what I read that sums it up... Half the speed but twice the graphics quality.

There have been many videos on LTT where they say they are building the absolute best gaming pc but they never get into the over clocking. There are a few guides out there on the parts needed to build the ultimate gaming pc for around $3000 but they never talk about over clocking. As we all know overclocking increases the performance but there are limitations and most of the time we never think about overclocking the ram. I was hoping that LTT might be able to make a video on building the ultimate bare bones gaming pc $3000 and then show us how it is over clocked on both the cpu and the ram. Hopefully someone can lay down a good guide so we can squeeze out that extra performance easily by simply following a the guide.
