looks good to me but i would consider the asus a8n32 instead msi only has 3 phase power which imo makes the asus more stable especially if you want to overclock. i would also consider a dual core or now or even waiting for am2
especially with toms review coming tuesday

Looks nice. Forget MSI and Asus, get the Epox 9NPA+ Ultra. It's much better than MSI and Asus, it's easy to setup, it's stable, and overclocks very very good.

I sold my ASUS A8N SLI premium for the Epox. Love it. The Asus sucked.

Thanks for all of the feedback so far!

Is SLI pretty much just a new, better northbridge?
and I don't HAVE to have Nvidia cards as long as i get the crossfire edition of ATI do I? If i want to run 2 cards
