P4 Xp Ready
I need help building my son(16yrs old) a gaming computer...?
First, thanks for taking the time to read and reply to this post. OK here goes... I have available to me a Xion 600 watt power supply PCIe ready, 4 gigs of ram all ddr 3200 ultra brand(2x1 gig strips +4x512mb strips) an Intel proc. P4 520 2.8ghz,1mb L2cache,800mhz fsb socket 775. 2 Raptor 74g Hdd, and a Leadtek 6800gt tdh 256mb ddr3. I really need help choosing the right Mobo for all this that will allow my son to go to SLI later on...the os will be Windows XP pro....with the possibility of going Vista later...Do I Lose the ram an upgrade it also?

Two 1GB strips is fine for XP. This board has one PCI-Express x16 slot (not for SLI).

For SLI, I'd suggest getting something else. However, most newer boards being sold have DDR2 memory.
Also, check the Asus downloads for CPU compatibility list. Your P4 520 is on it.
I might add that going SLI with a P4 520 wouldn't be top priority, because the P4 520 isn't a real powerhouse to use with SLI.
