Hello, so about two months ago I built an amd Phenom II x4 pc, shortly after that I tried to oc in system bios, but I found ou that my motherboard dident allow for bios oc. Ever since then iv been wanting to upgrade my mother board to a gigabte mobo that allows for ocing and that has SLI capabilites. So i researched motherboards and found out that any amd motherboards that offered SLI where old chipsets branded with different names b/c of nvidia only allowing SLI for intel cpu's. Nvidia has now lifted its intel only SLi rule and allows amd to use SLi. Ok so my question is: Does anybody know of a motherboard that was released after Nvidia realeased Sli to amd and that is overclockable and will be compatible with bulldozer? Should i wait for Bulldozer motherboards to be released? thanks in advanced for any help.

yes AM3+ boards now work with SLI and are compatible with the bulldozer when it comes out

Asrock is a decent brand

Don't recommend getting the GIGABYTE one because the tests show it has weak bus speed OC. unless this does not matter to you

I dont think the sabertooth mobo is sli compatible, I'm probly going to try that other asus extreme board. I just hope its a newer board and not an older model branded with a new name so that its able to function with sli
