Okay, I have narrowed my choices down to the following. Prices listed are from Newegg:

Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe $204
MSI K8N Diamond Plus $195
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR $186
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert $178

What do you think, what is your vote, and why? Looking for good SLI, I don't do much in terms of overclocking, and want something that has a good reputation for longevity and support.
 
A8N-32 SLI Deluxe. IIRC it has the passive chipset/VRM cooling (which the K8N does not) and is less finicky with memory than the Lanparty boards are.
 
You seem to want the best board out right now, Id go with ASUS, combination of everything good

I have the SLI-DR and as much as I love it, I hate the spacing of the PCI-E slots, OCs the best though

The Expert is probably the most troublesome board to work with right now, very similar to the SLI-DR, but with the wider PCI-E spacing and different and more troublesome BIOS

MSI, well its MSI, I dont touch any of their parts, but they seem to have gotten better over the years
 
ASUS is my preferred choice. My 3 present mobos are ASUS, from a long list of dependable boards.
