The motherboard is the soul of your system and it's longevity.  After deciding on the ATI
3870 X2 for the GPU, SLI was out the window.  I decided to go with the Asus P5E3 Deluxe
using the X38 chipset.  With 1600MHz support (overclocked) I didn't see the point of
waiting for the X48.  Full support for PCI-E 2.0, DDR3 1333, 1600(o.c.), 1800(o.c.), on board
7.1 surround sound, WiFi, the new Penryn chipset, six Sata drives, and a crapload of other
features.  It's no wonder Maximum PC gave it the best mobo of the year.  Dig that heat sink!
