ATI RD600 or Nvidia 680i - What would u get and why?

Hi,

I am so confused lol over motherboards. First it was the tough decision between a badaxe 2 and the 680i mobos, I am pretty firm now on 680i. But now the ATI RD600 DFI board is out and am not sure which to go for.

One thing that disapoints me with the DFI RD600 is it only supports 4gb of memory, seeing as people are saying with the arrival of Vista 4gb is gonna become the norm this worries me as the 680i supports 8gb.

The only other thing that worries me is the PCI Express slots. On the DFI 600 there x8 and on the 680i boards its x16. Also I would have to choose between SLI and Crossfire. Would the x8 slots slow down the new crossfire cards or are they so fast that its not going to be a problem.

I would like your opinions on which board you would choose and why?

Yeah forgot about one thing, I think I remember reading the 680i's have future support for intel cpu's, does this just mean Quad Cores or the next gen of CPU's after Conroe?

Think i'll wait till some people have the DFI RD600 and see what they say, also would hope by then that the DFI 680i might be out as that sounds like a very nice board.
