These Intel, socket 775 motherboards can't do Nvidia SLI but can do ATI crossfire and x-fire.

If we're talking socket 1366, or Nehalem, it doesnt matter because all the x58 or 1366 chipsets do both SLI and ATI configurations. Nvidia and Intel negotiated for the use of SLI on Intel based chipsets.

Gotcha... My next rig will be a 1366/Nehalem most likely anyway so problem solved.:cool:
