Requirements:
Intel 775 (model 650)
PCI Express
SLI Capable preferred
100baseT or GigT ethernet

I've looked around a lot and I like the EPoX board but it's not SLI, and the ASUS A8N SLI is not intel. I've gone with Intel boards for years and don't see any reason to switch now.

I'm intending to use this for gaming primarily (everquest, halo, etc) and while I won't be starting with the SLI initially, I want to be able to upgrade to it later.

Thoughts?

Is there such a thing as a publicly available Intel board with Sli?

nVidia just previewed samples earlier this month, and I don't think you can buy them yet...

I am so out of the loop on Intel it is not funny. From what I see AMD just offers a lot more bang for the Buck
