"True Dual X16 SLI - The ultimate enthusiast platform"
There are currently two contending top-of-the-line NVIDIA motherboard chipsets: NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI and NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI X16.

The nForce 4 SLI is the chipset native to the ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. The nForce 4 SLI X16 is the chipset native to the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. Apparently, the primary difference between these chipsets is that while the nForce 4 SLI runs a "simulated" 16x PCI-e on SLI, it is really 8x per channel. The nForce 4 SLI X16 runs at the full 16x PCI-e on both channels.

Running Price: $229

Optimized for the the Corsair DDR433 CAS 2 XMS-3500LL Pro's (Twinx2048-3500LLPRO), with timings of 2-3-2-6-1T.
News of this kind of jumped out at me, despite the September '05 web articles I found in a subsequent search, so I wrote this little announcement for a few of my favorite forums, for any reader not in the know. If anybody is looking to build a new system, I'm afraid this motherboard is too good to pass up.
