I currently have an ASUS P5N32-E 680 SLI mobo; XFX Geoforce 8800gts, Intel E6850 CPU, OCZ Reaper 4gb ddr2 800mhz.
I just realized that my board doesn't have PCIe 2.0 support. So I'm looking for another ASUS board that will take full advantage of my 8800gts card and I also bought the new Intel E8600 CPU (a beast!).
My budget is up to $250. Can anyone suggest a high end ASUS board for me that still have hi-speed ddr2 memory support,(not ready for ddr3)and overclocking features?

Try looking at the new Asus Rampage. The mid range ones still uses DDR2 ram.

Wow, that's a pretty looking mobo. The specs are on par to what I'm looking for. Someone else suggested the P5Q Deluxe. Other than the software I really don't see much difference. You think the Rampage is a better choice of the two?

The P5Q Deluxe and Rampage formula are very similar, though the Rampage formula is more geared towards gaming, but thats not to say that the P5Q D is a slouch. If you plan going xfire later then get the Rampage, if you plan on one GPU, P5Q Deluxe.
