Hi,
You didn't give a specific date for building, so if I was you I would wait a while and see what AMD comes up with.
The Asus A8N SLI Deluxe is for two (or one) video graphics card(s). As of yet, I have not read any creditable reports that the SLI motherboards, or if any new motherboards will be able to handle both dual video cards and dual processors.
There is the new Dual Core processors out now by Intel, with AMD to have theirs out pretty soon. The Dual Core processors perform like two processors in one when you are running multiple games and applications at once. Myself, I would like this better than the SLI two video card capability if there is a choice.
The current Intel processor is Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840, with HT, 3.2GHz, dual core, and can be tuned to 3.6, 3.8, or 4.0 GHz. The motherboard, Intel D955X BKLKR, 955X chipset with DDR2, PCI Express. Newegg does not have it yet.
It appears to be quite expensive now, but will probably get cheaper as time goes on.
The Intel Dual core computers are now being sold by Alienware, Dell, and Velocity Micro.
I have not seen any comparison with this Intel dual core to AMD in gaming, but it appears to be extremely powerful in a one video card setup with Velocity Micro, to handle any games to come down the pike, and also handle other computer tasks like video editing very well in a dual compacity.

I'm building a new computer soon and i've got my eyes on the AMD 64 4000+.
But technology is always advancing, and dual core is great in my eyes. Should I purchase a lower powered dual core processor (i'm guessing they are more expensive than normal)? Also, when do they come out?
What do you guys think? The motherboard i'm looking into is the Asus A8N SLI Deluxe.
