Crossfire ready MOBO's for core 2 duo?

ETSA · 09-16-2006, 12:42 AM

What motherboards out there support both. I have been looking with little success. I mainly find SLI.

Well, first, a grammar lesson- It's mobos not MOBO's (remember, no apostrophes unless it is possesive) and it is not capatalized, as it is not an acronym. Now, for some mobos that support CF and C2D...
None on newegg. It looks like you have to wait for a new ATi chipset or the NForce 590 to come out for C2D boards.

Any 975X board will support crossfire.

I didn't realize grammar was such an issue here, thank you 34erd.

It's not an issue if you don't make it one.....

There are none that support both crossfire and SLi, though for Crossfire it is the Intel 975X chipset, like 34erd said.

DFI is going to be doing an RD600 Intel board (the only manufacterer currently using RD600 for Intel). That will be the last ATi chipset for Intel. At least for a while.

note one has three pci-e x16 slots, im guessing (can't be 100% sure) that this is an early type of ATI's Havok FX physics rendering. then again, it could just be an extra slot, because i dont think ATI released this technology, or at least drivers for it yet.
