Asus doesn't seem to have a feature comparison table on their
website. As near as I can tell, the only differences between
the A8N-SLI Deluxe and the A8N-SLI Premium are in chipset cooling
(Deluxe = HSF, Premium = heatpipe) and PCI-E slots (one of the
x1 slots on the Deluxe becomes a x4 on the Premium). Is that
correct? Are there any other diffs?

Thanks.

Deluxe uses the paddle card selector.

Premium uses electronic routing of the x8/x8 or x16/x1 configuration,
meaning never having to move a paddle card around.

The Pericom PCI-Express chips on the Premium, are shown in
