Can you provide a link to the thread?

I believe on future Intel chipsets you will be able to use either one, although it's not confirmed.

I wish I had never even built this old outdated computer now. Like a week ago. I step into the market because I am getting interested in this hobby and I get stomped on I also thought I would be able to go quad if needed. And I knew eventually I would go sli now I give up I am going to run this thing till I get all of the smoke out of it and then quit.

That is just how the desktop market is. You build a computer one day and a month down the road something new, faster, better comes out. The desktop market basically thrives off of gamers. We wouldn't need any of this new fancy stuff it wasn't for increase in demand from the gaming market.
I want to purchase a new board as well one that supports the 45nm CPUs, I also want to have the ability to OC easily and support SLi.
I use my system mainly for gaming and with all the chatter out I am having a hard time figuring out which board to get.
The recent bomb from Nvidia about the 680 has alot of people in an uproar I guess I am luckly that I only got the 650 and was not thinking about the new CPUs from intel.
I wish I could just change out my mobo without having to reinstall the OS and everything.

Yea I have read alot up on the 780I but I am still leaning toward the intel chipset.
I am so far behind and lost on the mobo issue that it will take me forever to find one that supports my current C2D and the new Yorkies (LOL) and still support all my old hardware and good for OC.
I might actually be SOL on this one, but I hope not. Where oh were are the good gaming mobos at??

So let me get this straight (I read every post, but I would like to know the current standings).
The old 680i's support SLI, but will not support the upcoming 45nm Quads.
The new 780i's support Tri-Sli, but still will not support the upcoming 45nm Quads?
The x38's support Crossfire, but not Sli, and will support the 45nm Quads?
Do the x38's support single card nVidia? Or specifically only ATI cards?
*Edit* I was planning on getting the 680i, unless a more reasonable motherboard came out around the 45nm's, but now since they don't support the Q9450 (Which I was planning on getting), I'm leaning more towards the X38, which is only ~$30 more expensive...
