Best intel choice for crossfire

[xorbit]

Hi. I plan on buying an E6750 soon, as well as a x1950Pro, for my new rig. I need a good, stable, and overclockable motherboard that supports crossfire (I plan on adding another card in the future maybe). Problem is, there aren't too many intel choices for crossfire support..

I was gonna go with a P35 option that supports x-fire (which would be a desirable option, considering it's a nice chipset) and get something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130098 ( MSI P35 Neo2-FR LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard). Recently though, i heard the p35 support of x-fire isn't very good. Apparently, the i975x chipsets handles it better. The x38 is said to be paramount to them, but i dont feel like waiting for it to come out and shelling over 200 bucks on a mobo when it does.

So what will it be?

Thanks for your help

Well if you say no to "CF" and yes to "SLI" then all your problems melt. Now I want a cheeseburger and fries,lol.

Here is a good P35 MOBO with 2x16 crossfire (many of p35 boards are 16x4x crossfire ) :

Would that board be considered a gamers board? E.G. overclockable and whatnots............

Also any information on if this board would support the new 45nm chips when they come out?
