Help with MSI P55A-G55

[leb]

I was gonna go with this motherboard for my Core i7 860. Some comments say it is really SLI compatible, some other say it is but just not certified, while some others say it is not.

Does anyone have this MB and can comment on it ?

Thanks for your help.

Based on the MSI site, it doesn't support SLI so I won't bet on it working. I would go with the ASUS P7P55D-E Pro instead... IMO.

I was gonna go for an Asus board at first, but I've mostly read bad comments about the via audio chipset and I didn't plan for an extra sound card in my budget. Any opinion on the chipset ?
