Conroe board with Crossfire + 2 usuable PCI slots

[dafadau]

I'm a little confused (like others...) about which conroe mobo to order.

However I know I do want Crossfire + 2 usuable PCI slots usable when using crossfire (ie not blocked off by a huge gfx card cooler)

if you are going to use dual bracket cards, both the DFI and Intel 975 boards are not an option(though the DFI does have a PCI-Ex1 slot availible, located above the PCI-Ex16 slot) the asus does have the right amount of slots, but looking at the pics ive seen, it looks as if it suffers from problem as the intel and DFI boards...

its insane anyone who wants to use crossfire/SLi has to sacrifice a pci slot - I need 2!!

Anyone know when the Asus P5B Deluxe wil be released? It looks like it could be the only contender!

The intel bad axe supports crossfire...and has three vga pci-e slots...

The pictures aren't clear, I can't see whether if I was using crossfire whether I'd still have 2 free pci slots for my 2 soundcards?
