Default Help Choosing Motherboard - Core 2 Quad and DDR 2 Intel P45 Architecture

Hi all,
I'm looking for a motherboard, on the Intel P45 architecture as the component guide suggests this is the one to get. I'll be using a Core 2 Quand and DDR 2 RAM.
I'd like to be able to SLI two nVIDIA cards, and have at least 1 eSATA port. However, I can't find a board which meets these critera.

I prefer ASUS as a manufacturer, although there probably isn't much between any different brands.

Suggestions much appreciated,
Michael

SLI is a gimmick and you can't do it on P45.

Oh right, I wasn't aware that you couldn't do it on a P45. This is for a potential build in the summer so by then I may end up with an i7 and DDR3 if the price has come down enough.
