Heyy guyss

having just read carbons new sticky on hardware to choose, ive done a bit of research.

looking at upgrading by rubbish mainboard, i want a board thats compatible with core 2 duo and pentium D (as thats what i have currently), but after looking at the P35, 43 & 45 boards, ive noticed they all are crossfire, not SLI.

anyone got any reccommendations for a good board thats SLI not crossfire, as i have 1 nvidia card, and looking at adding a new one soonish.

id also like this board to be a decent overclocker, i dont ask for much do i

cheers, MCTW

As I also said in the guide, SLI is a useless gimmick for 99% of users.
