Abit AN8 SLI vs. Asus A8N SLI Premium

[nlkccom]

I'm assembling my new system, used mainly for FPS gaming. I've got most part picked out (AMD X2 4200+, 1GB ram, Evga 7800GT), the only thing left is the motherboard. I currently don't have 2 video cards yet, but might go SLI down the road, so I'm choosing SLI motherboard. Also, I might do some mild OC as well.

I'm trying to decide between the Abit AN8 SLI and the Asus A8N SLI Premium. Stability is most important, then OC. Which motherboard do you all recommend?

Made my decision after reading many many reviews. Going with Asus! What a tough choice between the two!

I looked briefly at the ABIT (fanless one), but there were some Caps that would be right where/under the PCIex Graphics card would go.

Wanting to avoid as many issues as possible, this caused some concern so I went with the Premium as well.
