Even though the nForce4 SLI represents the 'must-own' chipset for all AMD enthusiasts going for an SLI setup, ASUS has three configurations within their line-up from 'plain Jane' to 'Inspector Gadget'. The A8N-SLI is your basic nForce4 SLI chipset slapped onto a PCB with nothing more than what is originally provided by the MCP itself while the new A8N-SLI Premium is so packed, you'd probably continue to find something 'new' two years down the road. How about the middle ground? This is where the A8N-SLI Deluxe fits into the picture. It features the same nForce4 SLI chipset and comes with enough features to hook you up for a gaming machine, LAN monster or networked entertainment hub. With ASUS Instant Music, you can also turn your PC into a set-top audio CD player without the need to boot into an OS (great for when you have had enough of Windows for the day and still be able to make use of the PC).
