only prob in P5N-E SLI that i find is the absence of a Southbridge heatsink

do u wanna say that 8600 sux???if yes then why???
as far as ATI is concerned theres not much news about their release dates

basically...YES

ok.'my friend and i hav decided to buy:
C2D E4400
Asus P5B DLX
2*1GB DDR2 667 Dual Channel
DX10 gfx card.
the main reason behind not choosing the P5N-E SLI is that i've read in many reviews that the mobo has 'FSB Holes'bet 400-450 fsb.aslo it doesnt hav a áll solid state capacitor' design and tends to run hotter than 965.
if u guys find any flaws in this config then plz suggest.....

E4400 available ?
doesnt matter if its 667 or 533,get whatever is cheaper.Remember,C2D is not bandwidth hungry
P5B Deluxe ? Why ?? That thing costs 12k or so,if you can afford that why not P5N32-E ? I just dont understand why you ignore it so much ?
Also P5B Dlx is not Solid Caps all over.....
Its a known fact that NV chipsets run warmer.Its there since NF4 chipsets
Upto you man.....choose for yourself.

i'm just waitin for Intel to cut prices.
afaik P5B DLX (non wifi version) costs bout 10.5k.
as of now E4400 is not available,but i xpect it to get it by mid-may or early June.

Well , with the E4400 , and using a 1:1 ratio , the E4400 will hit 3 GHz even on ddr2-533 RAM ... That'll be an awesome buy .. and with ddr2-533 modules , u can really push some tight latencies ... and even with value RAM's one could manage 3-3-3-8 i think ..
