Motherboard for E6600 + 8800GTS 320MB + OCZ/Corsair

[deluxe]

OK... I really need help choosing my motherboard. Everything else looks sorted and I need to make a decision in the next few days.

Looking for stability and speed but not necessarily the best overclocker, wouldn't mind though. Wouldn't mind possibility for SLI. Needs firewire!

My system should be:
Core2Duo E6600
XFX 8800GTS 320MB
OCZ/Corsair C4 PC6400 (Depending on how cheap I can get the Corsair!)
Sliverstone ST75F

I was thinking ASUS P5N32-E SLI as it is pretty new and looks good. I appreciate that it has a little stability issue but that should be sorted with new BIOS. My stable choice was the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe but that is getting a bit long in the tooth (and not SLI).

Also, anyone know the difference between P5N32-E SLI and P5N32-E SLI Plus?

Hoping for some quick and useful replies... any other boards similar in price to the P5N32-E SLI and P5W DH Deluxe would be considered. I would think that there are a few people in my predicament!

OK, I found the difference between P5N32-E SLI and P5N32-E SLI Plus but could still use some recommendations and/or suggestions!

Could really use a hand with this decision!!

I am sure there are people out there who would have an opinion to share.

Since you want SLI, either board you list will work fine. SLI will require an NVidia 650i/680i chipset. Asus are stable boards. Other choices will either be NVidia boards marketed by others, or will not have the chipset you need. Overclocking potential is good for these boards. Pick one...

I paired my E6600 with Evga's Nvidia Nforce 680iSLI.It has full support for dual PCI express x16 plus basicly all other goodies,I mean it has any thing you might want to use with your system.I've only had it for a short while but it's been working without a hitch.
