I currently have an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe and an AMD AM2 Athlon 64x2 4200+ and am looking at upgrading to a new CPU / Motherboard. My current board and CPU are from August 2006, and its time for an upgrade.
I will be upgrading to either the AMD AM3 Phenom II Quad Core 955, 965 or the new 6 core processor. For the video card, I will be sticking with my EVGA 9800GTX+, which I have had since early 2009.
Which AMD friendly boards / brands are currently the best options for Nvidia users? Are they still making SLI compatible boards? I have never done SLI before, but I have always gotten SLI compatible boards in case I ever got around to getting a 2nd Nvidia GPU. In the past I have used both Asus and MSI boards, but have yet to try any of the other manufacturers.
Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help me.
EDIT: I should also point out that I have an old Augidy 2 ZS Gamer sound card that I still use (got it June 2004), so either the new board would need to support my audio card, or have decent on board Audio. My speaker setup is old set of Logitech Z-640 Speakers.
