Well it depends on what ICs the Mushkin RAM uses. You can see here what RAM each DFI board is good for.

EDIT: Just checked and the Mushkin RAM uses Infineon C die ICs. I would probably go for the NF4 eXpert.

Id go for the expert just because of the great board layout. I run tccd on it and have had no probs. Other thing to remember is that runing your memory at stock speed with tight timings is better than kepping it 1:1 with lose timings (to a certain extent)

expert was made for 2gb kits.

I like the SLI-DR better but the expert has more space between the pcie slots for water cooling

I run the same, i had a problem were my nF4 died and decided not to detect my cpu, got back from rma then it decided to blow my chip and needed sending back again an is currently still with them.

Yes the expert has 80mm, like the asus a8n rather then other boards that have 60mm. i have ran DD nv68 blocks on 6800gs cards and then modifiedd the blocks to fit 7800gtxs in sli and worked fine on the board.
