This OCZ SSD is a PCI-E drive, and I am curious to see if it would be able to fit on my new motherboard with two GTX 480s in SLI (and possibly a GTX 260 for PhysX). My motherboard is the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2. Here are the links:

you could run the SLI and the SSD, but you wont be able to add the GTX 260 for physx. Even without the SSD you wouldnt have room for the 260 since its a double slot. (the SSD is a single slot so it will work)
scsi pcie means you could put lot of these babys in a computer
if there was a motherboard for it
ati 5970 in sli
scsi pcie-e ssd
1 ati 5970 for physicx
just these alone take 5 pcie 16x slot
dont get me started on power consumption lol!
its probably very fast thos and at 2000 mb|sec pcie(for now since pcie will speed up)
this would futur proof for decades to come but in order for gamer to get that
intel will probably have to step in and make a more managable size version of this!
curious what the heat output is like on one of the solid state drives?
You can't boot from that thing.
Why?
No pci-e ssd is currently bootable.
Oh. Thank you for the heads up!
What about this 512GB Kingston SATA II SSD:

You are better off with intel or ocz indilinx/sandforce.
But can I boot from it? Also, would I be able to fit two GTX 480s in SLI and a GTX 260 for PhysX on an EVGA 4-Way SLI Classified Motherboard?
Check out this guys videos, he uses the classified in nearly all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GMJkVQiq5c
So yes to both questions.
Ok, thank you!
out this system means one thing!not one gaming company will adopt tessalation!its just a too big ressource hog!
they will adopt the rest of dx11 maybe (if they dont go opencl instead)since so give huge performance boost
but tessalation wont be around for deacades
mind you this poster had a w7 64!it did ran smooth!(empty)fill it with npc and orplayer and he could barelly run at 10 fps
in real world !nice to know that these set-up would be useless whatever the game dev can cook up!
You won't be able to use an OCZ z-drive if you have 2 GTX260s inside. The PCI-e slots are not well spaced for more then 2 double slot cards.
Also the Z-Drive is bootable if you use a thumbdrive, and their performance is very fast but do so through a Raid controller.
So, if I instead used an EVGA 4-Way SLI Classified Motherboard and a SATA II SSD, would I be able to fit two GTX 480s in SLI with a GTX 260 for PhysX and boot from the SSD?
You can. You just have the check the OCZ site on how. The benefit of a drive that reads at 750MB/s is quite obvious when you factor in other SSDs are below 300MB/s
