It's the new mobo from Asus. I'm thinking about picking one up.

What do you know? What have you read?

Cool....

I was hoping the x16 would be something good though.

Ehhh... I might pick it up along with a dual core AMD 64, but I'm not quite sure yet.

Only get it if you plan on running SLI, it benchmarks the same, in some cases under (marginally, not worth noting actually) the A8N Premium.

The only times the 32 really jumped out and did better was running SLI in straining graphics settings.

I was going to wait for that mobo to come out when i bought my comp a month ago, but after reading into it i just got the premium for my 7800gtx.

I was thinking about picking up a teenage run-away hooker for a fraction of the price.

I have the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, w/ AMD 64 4000+ and (2) BFG 6800 256mb Ultras.

i have the premium, which is the same as the deluxe except of the fact that it uses a heatpipe on the mobo instead of a fan, with a 4000+ as well.

I'd get the mobo with that setup, quick google = found the review i read of it.

Gwamps_UK doesn't have that option, or rather he did that 25 years ago and made her a housewife.
