Strengths: Easy installation and setup; dual PCIe x16 slots
Weaknesses: None so far
Summary: I bought this mother board to install two video cards (I bought two GeForce 9600 Gt from KFA2) using the SLI mode. It works flawlessly (the bridge is included with the mother board).The installation was very easy and the manual is quite well written. I have not tried to overclock, so I cannot comment on that. overall I am very satisfied.

Weaknesses: Limited usb on board, same with firewire. One each. Total eight USB. Limited extras. Instuctions flawed Tech said issue reolved with latter edition.
Summary: This board running better than last board with nividia chipset. P5N-SLI Deluxe. I like the support for PCI express 2.0 Easy set up. would have rated higher if southbridge supported more ports.

Strengths: Plenty of features, no hassle setup and config, lots of overclocking options, supports 1066MHz DDR
Weaknesses: None so far
Summary: I researched for almost a month before getting a new mobo for my system and finally settling for the EVGA. Believe me, you won't go wrong choosing this one. The heatsink and fan over the chipset is a great addition, as well as the error code showing display. Make sure you got an updated power source on your system since this mobo has an 8 pin connector for cpu power.
