your wrong, the deluxe has just more features, they both work with SLI.

SLI means Scalable Link Interface, it permits you to add 2video cards to increase the performance.

you dont need the deluxe, the deluxe only has more features

i'm not saying you can't do sli on a A8N-SLI. i'm saying it is better to do it on the deluxe.

Not really. The only major diffrences between the standard and deluxe is the deluxe has the extra ethernet port, and 4 more SATA I ports it looks like. I'd save the extra $40 for something else if it was my build.
