I can not decide which board to get. They both sound awesome. I have 2 Evga 7800 GTX boards to put on this and want to get the most for my buck. Please give me your opinions so I can decide. Thanks to all.
P5WD2 PREMIUM OR P5ND2-SLI DELUXE??

Reasoning?

So why do you feel like you do? Just curious, have you heard of problems with Nforce 4? Thanks again for the much appreciated feedback!!

Nforce 4 SLI of course...as it is your ONLY option
Intel chipsets don't support Scalable Link Interface...you can put two cards on the board as the same time, but they won't "double" the horsepower of your system, the second card will work only as a second display system in case you wanna have two or more monitors....

On the Nforce the 2 cards are split to 8X and *x. On the 955 the one main card runs at 16x and the second runs at 4X isn't that better than 16x? This what I have read so far on the 2 boards. Thanks!!

Maybe I should wait?

I just read that Nvidia is came out with an Nforce 4 SLI 16X where both cards run on 16 lanes each.
