I'm looking to pick up a PCI-e2.0X2 capable board(full crossfire) that's DDR3 compatible. It's not that I'm so worried about DDR3 speeds, but this board and processor will be a pit stop more than a major upgrade. I would like to be able to re-use memory and graphics card when I upgrade, so it looks like DDR3 and Xfire are the way to go.
The gigabyte board seems to have been discontinued, or at least new egg is not carrying retail version, and the ECS is the next least expensive model I've found. What do y'all think of it? I've used ECS in budget builds but not in years.
Y'all will have to forgive my memory and lack of up-to-the-wire knowledge, I haven't even thought about OC'ing, much less building a system in years.
BTW, will this board run one of the older 800mhz FSB processors?
