Stiffler69, I bought the delux at NICX
it was ver 2.0
ask them to verify that it is ver2. they'll show you the board before you buy it.

I say for $30 extra, the Deluxe is definitely worth it. The audio alone is worth the extra cost.

You just hear about problems because that's what many people come here to post about. I'm sure the majority of A7N8X users are happy with the board. I don't think Asus quality control is worse than the other major mobo manufacturers.
I've been very happy with my board. No complaints at all.

It mainly depends on what you're going to be using your computer for.
I for example, bought the Deluxe mainly for the digital output audio, because I have my comp hooked up to my surround sound system.

deluxe and standard perform exactly the same

deluxe has some extra things that the standard board doesn't have: soundstorm(onboard sound comparible to audigy2) and sata

gl with the overclock
