I am currently looking at a new comp build and really have everything else squared away except for the motherboard. I was looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188024, but have decided it is WAAAAY to much system for me.

I am looking for something more on the cheap, but still VERY upgradeable. I am going Q6600, and 9600 for those parts. DDR 2 ram, DDR 3 is just to spendy. But I am looking for something easy to build off of, and stable. Thats the main thing for me STABLE. I SLI is a must, if only because I want the option to be there if I decide to do it, *which I very well might*.

I am leaning towards EVGA for the board, but I have heard that the 6xx / 7xxi chipsets are not the most stable. ASUS looks good.

Do you have any suggestions?

This is the one I am currently looking at.

ANY feedback would be welcome.
