You're looking for the asus p5n32 SLI SE, available from newegg here:

Tigerdirect has the P5NSLI but as of now it's only being offered with the E6300 as a bundle. Still, it's a C2D board with SLI!

8O Look at the price on those boards! Man, I really needed to wait next for my Core 2 build. The bundle pack on the other hand is a great value, perhaps too cheap. I mean an E6400 is still, what? around $300 today and it comes with a mobo. Anyone ordered this combo yet.

Its possable but the cost will be around $150 to $200 for the mobo. For gamming, the best reason to buy E6400, due to game performance around the FX-62 level is top notch. For other none gamming program the E6400 will perform somewhere between the X2 4400 to X2 4600. To take full advantage of the extra performance the SLI maybe CPU limited so a crossfire solution would make for a better gamming performance.

If you go with the lower gamming powered X2 4600+ the SLI would be the better choice as it doesn't require as much CPU usage for load balancing.

Just in case you want to get them separate, Amazon carries de P5NSLI for $128 and free shipping, it's the same Conroe board from the tigerdirect bundle. Just thought it might help...

Good deal and I believe I've found the mobo for my next build. The board does seem to be on back order but for that price anyone could wait. I hope this board can hold up to 16Gb of RAM and 6 SATA to finish up making it my dream board.

The E6300 does perform in games like the X2 4600+ so if your willing to go with an E6300 heres a good deal.

Just make sure you buy a heat sink and fan as the Tigerdirect warrenty requires on the same order.

I would never buy from TigerDirect...

Extreme Value.
Supports Intel Duel Core and NVIDIA SLI!
Asus’ new P5NSLI Socket 775 motherboard delivers groundbreaking performance in combination with the today’s most sophisticated technologies.

Duel core? Wtf? Did they hire some computer illiterate moron to write this stuff up?

I have had no problems with Tigerdirect in the past. Typos can happen and people move on.
