Is a Crossfire "certified" motherboard necessary for Crossfire to work normally? I don't care about warranties or whatever - I just want to know if Crossfire will work normally. I've have two Radeon 7750's with an Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.1ghz and the mobo is ...
Board: Intel Corporation DH67BL AAG10189-208
Serial Number: BTBL13301B81
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz

Solution
The board you have has only 1 PCIe X16 slot which rules out putting 2 cards in, therefore not crossfire certified! A single more powerful card is a better solution anyway.

No, but Crossfire certified just means that it will work for SURE. Usually crossfire/sli will work on most motherboards. Just make sure it has the appropriate PCI 2.0 or 3.0 slots. Based on your video card right now I wouldn't suggest putting 2 7750s together since they are low end and might cause micro stuttering. You are better off getting a single GPU with better graphics. For around $200 you should try to get a 7870/7850.

If this is your motherboard then answer is no. They put certified on names of boards so you could easily spot up that those boards have 2 PCI-E x16 slots. On some boards you can put some video cards on PCI-E x1 slot but that would be major dropdown in performance.
