    I was looking at SLi boards myself, specificly the ASUS A8N SLi, but then i found that newegg had eVGA nForce 4 SLi's (200$mobo) for FREE with the purchase of a eVGA 7800GT for 350. heres a great reveiw..

    I have the asus and am having terrible issues with it atm. Looks like its going for an RMA. Its very unstable and very picky about what hardware u stick on it.

    I wouldnt recommend it

    Mine was awesome right up until PCI-E #1 caught fire, but my RMA is in process, so I'll be back to it soon, wouldn't take anything for it...
