Decent CrossFireX Board

Just need some quick advice, any crossfire users would recommend a decent board to use? and a chipset group to stick to.

I've been nVidia my whole life and I feel its time to cross over and give ATi a test.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Edit : I've been considering the Gigabyte GA-EX38T-DQ6
 
I assume you are going the Intel route- boards i would recommend are the Abit IX38 QuadGT, Foxconn X38A, Gigabyte GA-EX38T-DQ6 and Asus variants- you can't really go wrong with either, it comes down to features/cost/company preference- all boards from the teir 1 manufacturers have decent BIOS support. With Crossfire you'll be wanting to stick to X38/48 due to the dual PCI-E 2.0 capability.
 
Are you wanting to run DDR3? If not, you need to look at the GA-EX38-DQ6 (without the T) or take a look at the GA-EX38-DS4 which is nearly identical but cheaper.
 
I just noticed that, and made the appropriate changes on my order with my supplier.

Thank you bigsnyder

Sylvanas: I've always been asus, but as a technician i build gigabyte and asrock, so its really a mix and match i guess
