ASUS & DFI & MSI owners.

Haven't got the SLI Asus but I've made a couple of Athlon 64 systems with an Asus board. My experience is they work fine and are stable at normal settings, but you can't do much with them beyond that by way of overclocking.

A8n-dlx
This was my first ground up build and I would recomend if you are a gamer who wants expansion go with the a8n-sli. That said don't reuse parts for this one I would say go new on everything paying close attention to PSU, memory and video cards(some are not SLI certified even though they say they are). a8n is not a outstanding overclocker but consdiering my last 3 computers could not OC at all I am happy. I am a gamer and like alot FPS and RTS games and the a8n has handled everything I have thrown at it with out so much as a burp other then a few setup issuses mostly related to the space between the keyboard and the chair. I don't run OC normally and get great preformance with plenty to spare, and thats with a 3500 90nm.
The a8n does have a decent OC setup but it only goes so high, with a decent setup I run 2.5 ish some have done much better with nice setups. So as far as ease of use for OC is concerned its good although I have not seen nor tried the DFI or MSI sli setups yet.

The only compalint I have is that the NVchipset fan is noisey and runs warm but that seems to be the case with all of the boards.

I running DFI Ultra-D at stock and I had no problem bringing up the MB. For NF4 ultra, this is the cheapest and the best I can get.
