get the asus a8n-sli delux if you the best but the plain a8n-sli is very good too

they are the same mobo xcept the delux has 4 more sata ports and it has a pipe cooler on the chipset but other than that they are egszactikly the same(i cant spell lol) i have the plain a8n-sli and i dont think anyone would need 8 sata ports it has 6 usb ports on the back and u can add upto 6 more

actually the premium has the pipe cooler the deluxe does not. I would know I have it :P. Probably just a typo :). BTW I would suggest the DFI lanparty sli board. I believe it to be better and I do not know why I didn't get it.

I would get the an8 sli delux too, but what you should have done is buy 2 evga gt co video cards from http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130249 you could run these sli and you could buy two of them for less than the price of your current. one of these alone exeeds what your current is capable of:)
