The 650i set is one of nVidia's high-end chipsets, however the P35 is the newer chipset and made by Intel. They both have similar features however P35 supports Crossfire, which is dual ATi GFX cards and the 650i chipset supports SLi, which is nVidia's flavour of dual GFX cards. If you want an nVidia card then go for the 650i as you can add another one later. For overclocking get the P35 chipset.

he just answered your question...
650i = nvidia SLi
p35 = ati crossfire
both will run any card, but if you want sli you need the 650i, if you want to crossfire, you need the p35
