I'm looking for a good board to support the Phenoms, DDR3 RAM, Crossfire (with crosslinx or whatever allows the 2 16x pci 2.0 slots) and maybe some decent overclocking support. I've never done it before, but I'm considering it. I'm really not concerned with price but let's keep it under $500. I sure that shouldn't be a problem lol. Thanks!

P.S. I looked around quite a bit and I wasn't able to find any threads related to all three of my major requirements.

DDR3 difference with DDR2 isnt very much (0-10%) and also DDR3 is more expensive than DDR2, so go for DDR2 IMO

if u need CrossFire @ dual 16x mode, then go for a X38 board like
ASUS P5E

Asus P5E isnt a Phenom board its an Intel CPU board

DDR3 is currently not supported on any AMD CPU chipsets so you can throw that out.

I would be looking at the 790FX as it has support for QuadFire

all current phenoms are ddr2, there is no ddr3 boards for amd yet. those will be coming out when the new 45 nm phenoms come out, i think. and crossfirex is supported on 790fx chipsets.
