Recommended Motherboards

I would like to build a new system, and I really wanna use the following:
Q6600
8800GT x 2 (SLI)

Additionally, I would like it to have the following features:
On-board SATA II RAID array in 0+1 config
On-board audio and gigabit ethernet.

I don't care about the form factor, number of USB ports, color, etc.
I would like to eliminate any bottlenecks. I don't mean by having the motherboard being future upgradeable, but I mean by having a motherboard that can handle the maximum speed.
I'm not trying to spend mad money on this board. The last board I bought was an FP-IN9 SLI and it was a fairly good deal. Should I just go with it again?
 
Would it make much of a difference to buy a motherboard with PCI Express 2.0 slots for the two video cards in SLI mode as opposed to PCI-E 1.0 slots? (Assuming I buy 8800GT cards)
