Looking for MOBO for Core 2 Duo

[sukhdeepsinghkohli]

Hi

This is my First Post. I came here looking for a Perfect Board. I am looking for a Board which has following

1. DDR2-800/667/533 up to 8GB
2. SATA, PATA, RAID
3. ATI CrossFire
4. Dual PCI Express x16 at (16,4)
5. On Baord Graphics (Since my Budget is low at the Moment, i gonna Buy Graphics Card after waiting a month or two rather than Compromising now )

Shall Like to know which all Boards have the above features and better if from ASUS or Intel since those are the boards available easily here.

Regards
Sukhdeep

Ok i searched and found this board Intel® Desktop Board DG965WH. Seems like a AWESOME Motherboard with all the thinks i am looking for and Price is Good Aswell

So you dropped 3 & 4. Conditions 1+5 means northbridge G965, 2 means southbridge ICH8R or ICH8DH. There are several boards with the combination G965+ICH8R/ICH8DH:

ASUS P5B-V
ASUS P5B-V DH Deluxe
GIGABYTE GA-965G-DS4
MSI G965MDH (mATX)
Intel DG965WH
Intel DG965OT (mATX)

The first three support dual PCI Express graphics (that is, satisfy conditon 4; but no support CrossFire) and all but Intel come with good BIOS overclocking options. In particular Intel boards have no DRAM voltage options.

Have you read ATI drivers to enable CrossFire support on P965-based motherboards? If this also applies to G965 chipset, then the first three boards satisfy all of your requirement.
