i wanna know if there is a ddr2 crossfire certified mobo, i will use ati 6790 on it. and crossfire it later with same model. budget around $110
 
Solution
For the core 2 quad + DDR2, it should be Intel socket 775.
Look for the chipset X38 or X48.

I have a Q6600 + 8GB DDR2 with a Gigabyte X38-DS4 with two PCI-E 2.0 x16 and support for CrossfireX.

As you told us after MY QUESTION!
My advice is do not spend money on a new board for your Q6600 but when you upgrade platforms then get a crossfire board!

You'll be better to wait for the HD78XX, grab 1 of them instead of going crossfire.
This way you won't have to change motherboard and when ready upgrade the entire system with new CPU, memory, motherboard...
