Since i am not going to go 3-way SLI should I get this Motherboard? Will it be able to run two nVIDIA 9800GTX's?

MSI P7N SLI-FI 750i SLI Chipset LGA775 Supports LGA775 FSB1333 DDR2/800 Mainboard w/GbLAN,USB2.0,&7.1Audio

Is it like a 2-way SLI instead of a 3-way?

Yes, but get the 8800GTS 512 instead.

Why? Wouldn't the 9800 run faster than the 8800? Or is it just not worth the price jump.

It depends on what you think, benchmarks tend to show maybe a 10 FPS difference sometimes. This is proably because the cards are virtually the same, except that the 9800 GTX has 3-way SLI cabability.
