I have no desire for an SLI board, but I do want PCI-E. I have an ASUS A8V deluxe, and I want a board with PCI-E. I was looking at the ASUS A8N-E or the Epox 9NPA+ Ultra. Only thing is, I like having more than 4 SATA ports on my MB, and it seems the only way to get that is with an SLI board, otherwise I"d have to get a controller card. Which of the above 2 would be the best way to go? Also, is there a non-SLI board available that has more than 4 SATA ports?
