i'd also like the mobo to have SLI compatability

EDIT: forget the SLI

i just need a good microATX mobo...

That's a microATX case. If you want SLi, you'll probably need a 7950GX2 or a 9800GX2. I don't think there aren't any microATX mobos with two PCI-E slots.

Forget SLI'ing with microATX. You want SLI, you need an ATX case and mobo.

Edit: Correction. There is one microATX mobo on Newegg that does have two PCIe slots, but they are right on top of each other. Still, better off with ATX due to heat issues.
