Dun go for SLi unless u gonna use ny SLI cards. Now it seems useless to go for SLI solution as going for a nex gen card is much more cheaper and also better performance than for SLI solution. So what u have to look is maximum other features and future proof in terms of PCIE 1x and 4x. So P5B seems to be perfects in these terms.

i hv also been lookin for a good C2D mobo and finally after lot of googling, researching, and forum-ing(!), i decided for Asus P5N-E SLI. Read good reviews everywhere and performance wise better than other mobos of Asus.
