Conroe mobo questions

[MonkeyFaces]

What's the difference between an ab9 and an ab9 pro? The ab9pro with the gigabyte ds3? If I went for the asrock conroe x-fire, could I run it in sli with hacked sli drivers? If yes, will there be a performance difference between real sli and hacked sli on x-fire? Does the msi neo-f conroe motherboard have decent oc features? What about the intel 965 atx express?

The AB9 has single gigabit lan, 9 SATA ports and some other gizomos. The AB9 Pro has all that and an extra SATA port and an external SATA port, along with a second gigabit lan prot. Not sure about the SLi parts, but out of the two mobos (AB9 and DS3) I would say DS3 if you are willing to use a cheap set of RAM to change the voltages for the memory on the gigabyte if you are using a memory module that needs more than 1.8V.
