After reading this article i am convinced there is a new cheap king in the Motherboard universe

In our opinion the nForce 650i SLI packs all the essential features, offering gamers the ultimate in performance when coupled with a Core 2 Duo processor. With motherboards such as the P5N-E SLI available at just $130, it makes building a powerful gaming rig very affordable when you consider that an E6300 costs just $180. Combined with a GeForce 8800 GTS and a gigabyte or two of memory, you've got have yourself the foundation of an incredible system.

Being delivered to me tomorrow :D

Took a flyer to get it real "cheap" @ $94.00 delivered from newegg ;)

I'm pairing it up with an e6600 & just to let you know, there are a ton of issues still with the board's BIOS. If you are curious, there's about 40 pages on this board over at AnandTech (mainly on dealing with voltage settings along with dealing with the terrible vdroop that comes with most of the ASUS boards)... I'm sharpening my #2 pencil at the moment ;)
