AMD Motherboard with SLI

[slayinsoulja]

Hi, I'm currently looking for a motherboard in ATX form factor that can support AMD AM3 chipsets (preferably already flashed for Phenom II X6) and it supports SLI. I want it to also have at least 2 PCI-express slots at x16/x16. I have been looking through Newegg for several days now and haven't been able to really find one that meets my needs for a new build I'm putting together. Any ideas?

I don't think they have a AMD board that supports SLI. Nvidia doesn't play well with AMD.

Here are the two boards that meet your needs, though only one is in stock... http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000022&IsNodeId=1&Description=980a&name=AMD%20Motherboards&Order=BESTMATCH (AM3 980a Chipset).

christop is right. There aren't many motherboards that support AM3 and SLI due to licensing issues between AMD and Nvidia. You could go with that motherboard that techmo posted that has an Nvidia chipset, and there's also the option of a Lucid Hydra equipped board, however boards with that chip are more expensive and it can have issues with compatibility at times. Those are the only options in town if you want SLI with AM3.
