OKay im really happy I created the "once you have your spec wait 1 month to see if anything pops up or is missed"

So yesterday i'm doing a little theoretical testing.

Help!!

Okay this is the problem

Crossfire or SLI it doesn't matter but can anyone find me a board that you can put 2 graphical cards in (the ones that take up 2 slots 2900's or 8800's) and leave 2 pci slots open.

it hasto be able to take core duo 2 and beyond and ddr2 800+

That may not seem like a huge thing to ask but it seems really hard :/

How much were you looking to spend on the motherboard?

you might get away with it on abit's IP35 Pro, just depends on exactly the combo of cards that you're fitting.
Cooling airflow will not be great though.

Same with DFI CFX3200 & 680iLT

I have to ask this.
Why do you need 2 PCI slots?

One for a good sound card razor or Xifi
and one for a agiex phys card (yes I know a lot think they are a waste hehe but me and wife both play 3 games that use it and i've seen the difference on a friends machine)

Thus I need 2 pci slots :/

Asus just launched the PCI-E x1 format Xonar soundcard, Creative will get around to a proper X-Fi PCI-E x1 some day & the PCI-E PhysX is due shortly too.
