I'm still looking for a motherboard (Conroe)

Re: I'm still looking for a motherboard (Conroe)

The 975 supports Crossfire but not SLi. For SLi, you'll have to wait untill nVidia release its 570/590 SLi intel edition chips.
As for DX10 cards, you will also have to fork out for Windows Vista to take advantage of their DX10 abilities, as DX10 won't be released for XP (probably).

Thats correct but there are "way" to use special drivers to still enable SLI on the 975x.

I'm going with onboard for maybe 1/2 years (I'll update when I get a DX10 video card)


I found this motherboard, it looks pretty good?

The board you want has intergrated 5.1 sound, so those speakers should work fine.

That's a no brainer :)

The ram on page 1 is Value for only $10 less...more importantly it is DDR667.

$10 more for DDR800 XMS instead of DDR667 Value? Don't think, act!
