After the long debate this is what im getting

Asus A8n-SLI Premium (while in my cart it went from $175.00 to $160.00 so save $15.00)
Amd Athlon 64 X2 3800
Lead tek 6800 pci
(im selling my BFG 6800gt to a friend for the cost of the 6800 Leadtek)

I chose the mobo not because Sli but for the firewire(want to use my ports in front)
Some people have problems some dont i usually run at stock because i dont know enough about overclocking(vcore and dividers etc etc)
One question i have to anyone whos has the Sli -Prem is finding out what not to install. i know dont instal the NvFirewall. i thought i read somewhere someone saying not to instal chipset drivers? Dont i need that installed?

Ps what are some free benchmark sites so i can do a before and after benchmark.
Also some said something about not installing NAM(what does that stand for-what is it)

NAM = network access manager or the nvidia firewall, so dont install. Do however use the chipset drivers. Cant help with benchmarks, still single core myself.
