Still confused about mobo

[jack bauer]

I like this mobo a lot, has the features I need, and though I will not go SLI at the moment, it's nice to have the option. My real questions are these:

I noticed the A8N is centered around nvidia. What if I want a X1900XT instead of a Geforce?

Also, if radeon vs geforece is an issue, what other mobo would be comparable? Isn't the A8N32 A pretty awsome mobo in GENERAL?

You can go crossfire (ATIs version of SLI) with the 1900xt if you bought an Asus A8R-MVP deluxe

an nForce mobo will happily run ATi gfx as will an ATi chipset board run a Geforce.
What you can't do at the moment (due to drivers) is run Crossfire on nForce or SLI on ATi chipset board.

will this be fixed sometime down the line?

SLI and crossfire dont work exactly the same way from the tech ive read, so the answer reall isNo they wont ever beble to be used cross brand

I understand that they should be able to with driver support (afterall you can do Crossfire on an Intel chipset & supposedly both SLI & Crossfire have been shown working on ULi) but it's marketing/politics ...
