Likely not. A 910w to 1200w PS is more appropriate, assuming that you will
likely go to 275 or 295 based video card(s) in the not to distant future.
Adequate cooling may be an issue with two or three SLI video cards.
The 2x GPU cards are looking better as the price drops. ASUS also has an
M4A79 DLX MBD (940pin)that uses DDR2 memory. Unfortunately it is Crossfire
not SLI.
Currently playing with one (AMD 955 processor, M4A79, HD4890 925 Mhz GPU,
DDR5 1050Mhz 1G memory.) Win 7 RTM
The single HD4890 shows 7.7 on the Win 7 graphics preformance scale

So if you see my specs, you can see what I run right now. I am looking
to upgrade to a phenom 2 x4 955. see link. for specs
'Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB
L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor - Processors -
Desktops'
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103674).
I also am looking to continue using my 9800GTX+ for the time being with
the option to go double or triple cards in the future. I have noticed
that there are not many options for motherboards with the am3 socket
style and SLI capabiltiy. except for this board...
'Newegg.com - ASUS M4N82 Deluxe AM3/AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI AMD
Motherboard - AMD Motherboards'
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131383&Tpk=asus%20m4n82%20deluxe)
Will my 650w power supply be sufficiant enough for a double or triple
9800GTX+ setup. Any other advise on this setup would be greatly
appreciated!
