Which mobo for me?

Which of these mobos will allow me to work on large graphic files. I hope for it to last 5-6 years.
AN85X
A8N-SLI Premium
A8N-SLI Deluxe
I plan on using an Athelon X2 3800, and am open to suggestions for other components. I've used Asus before with great success, but I am somewhat concerned with the problems some are having getting the Premium to work. I'm not going to overclock as stability is more important than speed. I might be convinced to go with another brand...
Thanx,
Ron
 
For large graphics files, the motherboard is not going to be a limiting factor. You will be CPU limited, memory limited, and perhaps even O.S. limited. I have worked on large files that even 32-bit Windows cannot handle, but 64-bit Windows can. That might not be the case for you, but it can happen. Buy your Athlon X2 3800, 2GB of memory (2x1GB DIMMS so you have room to expand later), and any of the motherboards you list.
 
lifeguard,
Thanx for the response. I'll probably go for the Premium board. I know it's probably more than I need, but it leaves room to upgrade.
