Please Reccommend A Good SLI Board

A friend of mine has asked me to build him a new computer. He wants to go with a socket 939 board. His processor will probably be an X2 4800+. What's a great socket 939 SLI board to get?

Well for one socket 939 isn't a great upgrade path at the moment.Unless he's already bought the processor u should convince him to get an AM2 rig.
If he can't get a the ASUS A8N32-SLI.
If he goes AM2 get the ASUS M2N32-SLI and an x2 4600+

since he's in the planning stage i suggest the following rig.
Athlon x2 4600+ AM2
ASUS M2N32-SLI Nforce 590 Motherboard
2 x 1 GB of Corsair DDR2-800 memory
The rest u can add on urself depending on ur tastes and gut feeling.
U could get a cheaper 4200+ and OC it to 4600+ speeds if u want.Will save u some coin.
