Best OC and SLI Mobo?
What, in your opinion is the best OC AND crossfire Mobo with an AM2 socket type?
Thanks in advance for all your help. EDIT:Okay, I'm convinced I want a crossfire mobo now. I was thinking this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131224

Why do you want an Xfire mobo? you plan on running some hardcore stuff, or do you just want some local bragging rights? If you want bragging rights ditch the AMD all together. Bragging rights on a budget? No such thing.

I want to run Crysis, and tons of things on Max.
With 2 Radeon 3870 x2's. And if I wanted local bragging rights, I'd still ge them with an AMD. lol

AMD seriously lags behind now, there are lots more motherboards to chose from for Crossfire with the Core 2 Duo/Quad.

You do not want two 3870X2's on any AMD chip, you will be extremely bottlenecked.
Your best best is to get a X38 motherboard, with a E8400 or Q6600.
