    MSI claims P965 CrossFire first

    Motherboard manufacturer MSI has laid claim to being the first to enable CrossFire support on an Intel P965 chipset.

    Looks like the same design as the Asus P5B Deluxe.....that is also 2 x PCI-E 16x slots with one having only 4 lanes electrically connected.

    Complete and utter waste IMO. Crossfire really will not like working with a 4x slot.....

    Also, with Crossfire and SLI becoming as common as they are, as well as other PCI-E peripherals, its high time more boards were released with at least 4 FULL PCI-E 16x slots.....with adequate spacing between slots for the double-height cards.

    Motherboard manufacturers seem to be very blinkered at the moment

    Id settle for my P5B delux being able to run 2 vidcards on the newer bioses, it freezes 5sec after startup if i use the latest 2 official bioses, the previous beta works fine tho, go figure

    Thats just for quad displays, not for SLI/Crosffire btw
