Is anyone here running this M/B with an Audigy 2ZS? Does your system lock up frequently?

After going through a lot of different forums regarding the A8V-SLI MB it looks like most of the people with problems are having problems when trying to use 2 video cards. As for myself, my system runs great as long as I don't enable SLI. Enabling SLI starts causing me problems - and I am running nVidia certified SLI boards.
I was wondering what most people are running that have great running systems? SLI or single video card?

Has anyone tested if this board supports dual monitor in a sli setup?
Also, has anyone tested the Raid functionality? In particular raid 1 and raid 5?
Does this tax the system, or does this primarily use the raid chip?

A8N-SLI Deluxe -- Don't know what to do next !!
I am experiencing a very frustrating problem with my system, that I am convinced is to do with this motherboard. But please correct me if I am wrong!
My system (specs below), will hang (no BSOD) after encoding any video file over 1GB(source file) in size. It does not matter what codec I use (be it Divx/Xvid etc), the app will finish encoding the file, and everything seems fine. The problem comes when I close the encoding app (any application I have tried about 6 or 7) my system just freezes. The encoded file, always plays fine and does not end up corrupted.
....
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I've been reading through this thread and others on AnandTech about OCing my 3000+ but I can't seem to be able to get it over 2000 Ghz, when I go to 2100 my computer freezes and I have to reboot. Using the 1002 BIOS and ClockGen to overclock.
I've disabled Cool'n'Quite in the BIOS, but the ASUS Cool'n'Quite software is still installed. I
locked the PCI-e bus buy moving it to 101 in the BIOS and moved the FSB to 201 in the BIOS to lock the PCI.
I've tried setting the RAM timing to DDR 400 and DDR 333, using both the auto settings as well as lose latency settings.
I'm using the 9x multi and tried both 4X and 3X HT settings.
Running it stock the MB and CPU idle at around 32C and after playing games or running 3DMark it raises up to about 42C my 6600 GT stay at around 41C and gives an ambient temp reading of about 31C
Do I need to flash the BIOS? Am I missing something? I'd be happy to just get it to 2.2 and have it stable.
Thanks for your help in adavnce

First of all you are using Value Select memory... If my intuition tells me anything it SUCKS for overclocking...
I have heard many times where people can't get over rated DDR400 specs with crappy memory...
Also to everyone out there: Set your OWN voltage in the memory, don't let the BIOS do it for you (because it can detect incorrect values from the SPD)
I know for a FACT that if I set my voltages too low on my memory it can seem like I got a corrupt windows install and then if I go back and bump it up, everythign works fine.
So even if you have crappy memory dude, try setting your volts to 2.7 - 2.85 and see if that allows more headroom in your FSB cause no matter how low you set your ratio there is going to be limit on your max CPU speed if you are unable to get the memclock over 200...

NF4 chipsets, like the NF3 before them, only run 333 (stock) with 4 mem sticks. RTFM...

I tried OC last night for the first time and experience just the same problems. Can't get any OC (well it goes to 205, but not 208).
I tested the memory with memtest86 and Sandra and it runs fine, but when I run 3Dmark05 the PC falls over at test 4 - the first of the jerkovision tests. Generally a BSOD and frequently it has an error message that mentions USB. This pretty well confirms to me that it is a mobo issue. I'm using 1004-001, so it's not BIOS specific. BTW I also tried upping voltages, but it made no difference.
If I tried the auto OC it just crashed quicker.
