Motherboard options

[Valdahur]

AM i right in saying the Asus P5W DH Deluxe LGA775 socket for is the best motherboard option for Intel Core2 Duo CPU's atm.

If so am I also right in saying i would be limited to cross fire for GPU?

I'm looking at the Intel "Bax Axe" 975X Desktop Board.

"Intel managed to compile the most attractive 975X package by unreservedly addressing the enthusiast, offering ease of use (especially with respect to BIOS updates) and providing powerful software tools. What's most surprising, though, is the comprehensive overclocking support, which matches the Asus and Gigabyte offerings, and includes a hardware stress test tool to verify stability of your settings. Finally, it is a no-noise product, and only some BIOS and software bugs prevent us from awarding it fully."

Well, its certainly the most expensive board out there, being R2700 and all!

I see Toms Hardware used a Asus P5B Deluxe to testing a Core 2 duo.

Yea that was odd considering it is a 965 board.
