I have the option to get either of these boards for a 100 bux. Il be running an e8400 cpu and a 9600 gso video card, GameXstream 850W. I dont think either support sli but its no biggie for me. thanks
Im not much of a hardcore gamer, but occasionally play fr time to time. I do like the firewire option on the asus as i do a little bit of video/photo editing.
