For the last time (from me)

ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus for SLI
Gigabyte 965P-DS3 or 965P-DQ6 for non-SLI

Good luck!!!!

I, too, vote with the Gigabyte mobo.

I have the S3 version of the 965P. The 8800 gts 620mb version is on my wish list.

640MB*

and i really like the setup with the new ram that capper put in there. that Gigabyte's an awesome board, and only if you see urself running SLI in the future should you go with the ASUS Plus...

good luck! and welcome!

Don't forget those "unofficial" SLI drivers for the INTEL chipsets.

I never recommend SLI unless you have a huge monitor, I run a 8800GTX on my Dell 2407 and have never had a problem.
