I chose it, because it would be good for both gaming and photoshop play, is more modern than boards with the nForce4 or RD580 chipsets at much the same price and has very good reviews.

The computer will be mainly for gaming, not Photoshop. But, although Photoshop use will be secondary, I still will be using it quite a bit and that is why I am considering Win 64 Pro as the OS so I will not be limited to less than 4 gigs of RAM.

I believe a review I read on the MSI P6N Platinum said that when SLI was used the two cards only ran at x8 x8 instead of the full x16 x16. Are there any good Mobo that will run x16 x16 with SLI?.......thanks
