A couple of things I need to correct you.
> If you need a server you buy Intel, if you want a gaming system, you buy AMD. That seems to be the common opinion amoung most tech-savy people. <

You're correct. Though you could get acceptable performance with Intel, AMD does seem to perform better than Intel. For server, there's an AMD Opteron for those who don't want to go with Intel like me. However, there can be developers that can develop an engine that are optimized for Intel chips. So keep that in mind.

> SLI is where you can have 2 PCI Express video cards working together to increase video performance. <

You're speaking of nForce4 SLi. SLi is for nVidia gForce cards. There is a big negative here: you can only have 2 video cards with same brand, same model, same type, and that's it. ATI CrossFire solves this problem, but it's for ATI video cards and can't mix X800 with X850. You can have different brands and models, however.

> Asus was the first to release the SLI for AMD only. <

It's also available in Socket 775, too.

> Asus AI NOS Booster is only on AMD chips. This features the ability for software to Overclock the chip automatically when its needed then return to the original clock speed when its no longer needed. <

Also for Intel!

> I believe that ASUS continues to grow in the gaming community and I also believe that the gaming community continues to grow. <

Any numbers to prove it?

> I think that ASUS should continue thier marking in the gaming community and perhaps monopolize it. <

Monopolize the gaming community? Heck no! Gamers could choose other motherboard manufactures if desired.

Please do an extensive research before posting in here.
