Asus Motherboard

[dido41]

Ok Guys. I need some help on an Asus motherboard. There is so many to choose from and I do not no what one will work the best with the GTX280 and the Intel Q6600 or better
Also should I go with a board that supports DDR3 even if I run DDR2
give me a link to the board that will work with these options please.

I do not plan to run SLI at this time. But may do so down the road.
And if having a SLI board and running one card. Will drop the performance in FSX or gaming?
I want to run windows vista 64 bit. If it works out for me. If not I will go back to xp pro 32 bit
Or 64 bit.


Thanks
