any mobo that has at least 1xPCI-e slot where you could plug the card.

mobo of choice depends on the cpu.

Right^ HD 4870X2 needs a one PCI-E 16x slot,so u can go for motherboard which don't support multiGPU too(i know u need but i mean it generally).
Do u need an Intel or AMD motherboard?

It depends if you are going to crossfire later.

If you are ot going to crossfire later, then you can get any board with a pci-e x16 (preferably pci-e 2.0) slot.
If you are, then get a MB that chitset supports crossfire.

Well, I have a Gigabyte HD4870X2 in a Gigabyte GA-X48DQ6 motherboard for a year now, works perfect and cool, haven't try crossfire since I don't need more power for gamming, at least for now lol
