P5N32 SLI Deluxe is an NF590 chipset mobo so no overclocking if you ever want to do it. Also the board has tonnes of issues in itself and asus has stopped making it. If you can, get the P5N32-E SLI Deluxe or if you have lots of money to burn, then the Asus ROG Striker Extreme which are both based on the new NF 680SLI chipset which overclocks like a beast. If you can't find either of these two mobos, get the Asus P5B Deluxe or the Intel 975XBX.

[moshel]

havent decided the DDR2 brand but even kingston and transcend are not very expensive.........

and i wont be overclocking any of the hardware items, so am not looking for a "overclocking" solution.

btw i checked in this month's digit that the MSI 965 Neo f and MSI 965 Platinum gave almost at par performance to the 975x boards and also costs half the price........wud that be good............

as for the SLI board i think it really wont make a difference in performance until u put an additional gfx card.................

well SLi/crossfire is almost out of question, wat abt the 965 series?
