It says C2D Etreme, but not regular. I don't know why they dont show the chipsets. It way over priced too.

If you dont want SLI, get either the Gigabyte 965P S3, or better DS3.

If you want SLI, then you will have to pay a little bit of a price tag for full 16x on both lanes.

thats mobo is extremely overpriced but it is one of the best 975x chipset mobos out, but i would never recommend it at that price

i would recommend you get the Asus P5B Deluxe , much better board and can find it for reasonable price

Pricewatch has that motherboard at other places for $223-263, not $300+.

Nice board, but way too expensive from ZZF.

Here's the link: Pricewatch

Unless the sites made a mistake, or ZZF has a super duper edition, I'd get it from elsewhere. Of course, ZZF is a more known name in etailers...

Its a Crossfire motherboard - not SLI,
ABIT AW9D 975X ATX Intel Motherboard $200 @ NewEgg
If you're not looking for a dual-GPU setup look at the Gigabyte 965 DS3, 965 S3, Asus P5B Deluxe or Asus P5-E.
