Which board and chipset for the conroe?

Hi,

I'm building a new system next week, going to get a conroe, but I was wondering which chipset I should go for. I want one that will be future proof in terms of upgrading in 2-3years time so I'm guessing it'll be the P35 at this moment, but there is also the not so well advertised nforce 680 - personally I haven't heard or seen much about this at all so if anyone can suggest a good motherboard & chipset it'd be great. Ideally I guess it'll have to support the 1333mhz FSB and the new intel cpu coming soon.

TBH futureproofing a PC is like waterproofing a sieve, I'd just get something that works for now myself.

Aye, you can never predict what may happen, but it's like business, you'd still want to make sure your investment gets good returns. Otherwise it's my wallet that will be like a sieve.

Anyhow, I wonder wether we'll see more P35 boards out early next week? Otherwise I'm going for the Asus p35-Deluxe wifi

Oh and one more question. The P35 says crossfire ready, does that mean it cannot use nvidia's SLI and is there actually any advantage to getting a ATI card for the P35 as opposed to the nvidia?
