how much? i am currently running the new asus sli board and it's pretty smooth. it was expensive considering i had it the first week it was out and they are still pretty hard to get. as far as performance, it is the same with the a8v without the sata2 and a few other goodies.

actually it's pretty high priced i think. it does not support the sli which is 2x pcixpress 16x for 2 pcixpress cards. i still think the a8v is a great board for people who have a good video card agp. gigabyte makes me nervous on their forst revisions worst then asus because they usually have a major bug such as their first athlon 64 board 754. i have this board and although the system was fast, i had many problems with stability in 3d games because the cheap capacitors they used.
