I was wondering if there was a board out there that is suitable for Intel and it's CROSSFIRE ready. Im looking for a mother board around 250 to 305 at newegg so if anyone knows if there is a board that has Intel and supports crossfire, please tell me.


!! AND if it was 2.0 pcie x16
 
Easy...Intel x38 or x48. Both are PCI-E 2.0 Crossfire ready and the x48 is a mean, overkill, overclockers board.

BTW these are also chipsets supported by ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte and DFI. In some configurations you can get the chipsets with DDR-2 RAM slots, otherwise they are normally DDR3. Check before you buy.
