I recently purchased a Velocity Micro e2240 and it will be delivered this week. This system comes w/ the Intel Quad 2.4 Q6600 processor on an Asus P5N-E SLI w/ the NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI chipset. Video SLi support as well (8800gts 320mb). I have done some research and have read that there is not full support for the 650i boards as well as no support for the SLI feature.

I also have a new Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mo board that could replace the current board mentioned above. Again, I have read that there is more support for this board for the OS X86 installs. However, does not have the SLI capabilities.

What are your experiences w/ these boards? Am I able to get the Asus P5N - motherboard up and running and if so, will all of its performance capabilities be supported through patching?

Which board would you use?

thanks

- Just a note, I currently have an AMD OS X86 system running, but am switching to Intel. I just don't have as much experience, knowledge on the intel side of this process.
