NF4 a8n SLI Deluxe here Monday or a8n Ultra 2 weeks out.....

[SkyBum]

I can get an a8n SLI for a sweet price right now (at least given current pricing), but I will be running an aX800XT on it so really no need or desire for SLI. If I want an Ultra version it looks like another week or two wait. This SLI board can be here Monday with free 2day shipping..

My question is since I'm not using the second PCIe slot, what slots/etc will I be missing from the Deluxe board? Any other differences I should be aware of?

you will be out of 1) 1X Pci-E slot. Nothing else. All other features are the same.

Just for clarity... The 1x PCIe slot becomes a x16 PCIe slot on the SLI version. He assumed you knew SLI had 2 x16 slots.

oh, and you can still run 2 cards, just not in SLI right now. you could, for example, buy an X300SE to allow extra displays, or get ATI R520 SLI when it comes out. I'd go for it, you're not gonna find Ultra boards for under $190 for a while anyways.
