Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe.
Best motherboard I've ever owned, lots of features in the BIOS especially for overclocking, lots of features for the motherboard itself.. hell it's like a high-end motherboard but SLi is only 8x/8x. I'd suggest going with an AM2 nForce 590 motherboard if you plan on doing SLi with the 8800s.
If you don't need SLi, the Biostar TForce 560 A2+ is a fine choice.
I'd avoid the Asus M2N, M2N-E, and M2N-E SLi. All poor quality motherboards and max RAM voltage is a pitiful 1.95Vs.
im thinking about buying this board what do you guys thinks

It's okay, but why get a motherboard with onboard video? :/Hiryuu_
well i mean i dont have that much money and this mobo will last and it will hold a phenom, i dont plan on overclocking and yes i will be putting an x1950pro on it (maybe a 2900pro when they come out) i mean wats the differnce between this an a tforce560...it also has some pretty go reviews.
Uhh.. or you could get the Biostar TForce 560 A2+, which will take AM2+ processors without a problem (BIOS update?)

Same exact price too..
To disable onboard video, you can do it in the BIOS or through device manager.
To get to device manager, right click My Computer, go to the Hardware tab, Device Manger.
Then you disable the integrated graphics, do not uninstall them.
whats the differnece between the two i dont know if i get that one or the msi
like im not hating on the biostar but is there a comparison chart or what the specs on newegg is exactly the same and the msi board has hdmi
is the chipset on the biostar newer im not sure also is there any reason for getting am2 plus i mean if the phenom is am2 compatible well thats like 5 years with my 5200 and the phenom
I have a asus m2n-e, one of the best mobo's i ever owned,so i gotta disagree with this gentleman, he is right about the memory voltage thing though.Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe.
