E8400 motherboard question

[Eckos]

I'm trying to find a motherboard that will support this cpu OOBE. And the reviews I found on the nForce 700+ were bad about support of the E8400. And I'm also trying to find one that supports x16(SLI). I can only afford up to $150(limited V_V). Thank's guys =)

If you weren't considering SLI, I would get one of the P35 chipset mobos, as they are compatible with the E8400. Plus the nvidia chipsets seems to have a lot of problems lately, plus overclocking isn't as good.

yeah thats what I had my eye on was a P35 but they had multi x16 but they were both x16 full

SLI means an Nvidia chipset, you have no other choice. Crossfire means an AMD or Intel chipset.

hows the eVGA 680i. On newegg it says Wolfdale support with Bios update so that means it won't have trouble with it.
