Tell me a mobo.

I am building the following rig:

Video Card = 8800GTX
Processor = E6600
RAM = Kingston 2 Gig 667 or 800 -- Haven't totally decided yet

So what motherboard would you recommend? Something $150 max? I don't care for overclocking processors too much, though wouldn't mind an SLI option -- though not necessary.

I'd want the 650i, but I can't wait damnit!
 
680i is out this month. eVGA has already launched theirs. ASUS should have one out soon. So if you dont want to wait for the 650s you either get a new 680i or get a 570 mobo like the P5W DH or the P5W64 WS Pro. If you want something cheaper than that then a 965 mobo. Right now for $150 you'll have to focus on the 965 mobos. The 570s and 600 series are gonna cost you $200 US or more.

Update: FoxConn just announced their latest. It'll use a C2D and overclock to 350fsb. Check the Hardware Review section on the AT front page for more info. It may be cheaper than $200. I think the review is done at Viper Lair.
 
The following are available to me at relatively the same prices:

P5W DG2WS

or

P5W DH

There is also the P5B which is significantly cheaper. I don't really plan to do any over clocking.

Also I forgot about this thread and made another one. Can a mod delete that please?
