Motherboard Help Me Choose.

[ManDog]

Ok heres what im looking for.
ATX
Core 2 Extreme capable as i have a QX6850
DDR3 Memory capable
Can support 2 Nvidia 260 cards
Least 8GB support: this is the important one since alot of boards say they can support 8gb of high speed memory but really only support 4.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You're looking for this http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813188040

EVGA 132-YW-E179-TR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

supports your CPU, is DDR3 capable, and SLI ready and supports 8gb of ram

The only other option is an X48 chipset it will support everything however you won't have SLI

Yea that is a nice board and was one that caught my eye. But with so many options, least i thought there were many i figure id ask the public for help.

Thanks for the reply!

You're pretty much looking at a 790i chipset, I chose Evga because of reputation more than any thing. Also it was the cheapest non open box board that fit your needs. on newegg. The other option is to go core i7 but that's more money
