I've got one nvidia pci-e and it's okay for my needs. Would the Asus A8N-E or A8N5X be okay? Or even the A8N-SLI (not deluxe or premium)? The premium is a whole lot more expensive. What kernel is okay with the ati chipset? I'm running 2.6.12 with daily hard lockups. Memory checks out fine in memtest and i've tried it with a few graphics cards so i'm assuming it's the board.
