I'm shopping for a new system and was interested in seeing how other
people are set up on either of those two MB's. Also if you've run into
any major stability problems please let me know.

What I'm looking into:

MB: A8N-SLI deluxe or A8V deluxe
Processor: Athlon 64 3500+ (Winchester)
Memory brand and type: Corsair - haven't decided on type (help me)
Video card: eVGA 6800 GeForce Ultra 256MB
PSU: The Evermax 600 watt I guess - is it necessary or can I get by
with a decent case and a stock 400-500 watt PSU?

Would you lean towards one MB or the other?


Thanks...

If I was buying now and there were no specific considerations that dictated
otherwise then the SLI board would probably be it simply because Intel has
for reasons best known to the minuscule brains of their marketdroids
decreed that "AGP Is Dead" and in such matters they usually get their way.
