I'm buying this motherboard when its back in stock and I was wandering which processor I should pair it with? Suggestions for single core and dual core processors are welcome since I am looking at both as of right now.

Which Processor For Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe?
- Thread starter The Doc
- Start date
Pentium-D 820 or 830 and OC the hell out of it. Or, if your primarily a gamer, I'd suggest sticking with a single core, Hyperthreading chip. A Pentium 4 650 would be a good middle high end choice. It should be able to hit 4.0GHz pretty easily, although heat may be an issue depending on your setup.

How well does the 670 overclock? Could I hit 4.8GHz on it with good air or water cooling? I would love to grab a P4 3.73EE chip, but its a little costly.

It depends on how much you want to spend, but my vote goes for a Pentium D chip. Whatever is in your price range, and a very good cooler.

Depends on what you're using your computer for. If it will be used mostly for Gaming, then a single proc like the 650 or even a 551 (1MB L2 + 64bit) would easily do. If multi-media is its main use then the 830D might be a slightly better choice.
