    Will that mobo work out of the box with the Core 2 Duo or will it need a BIOS update?

    I'm waiting for a decent mobo which marries the conroe with an nforce chipset.

    :S, SLI is more mature but with X1950 (and other newer cards are a lot better in crossfire)

    But crossfire seems more tempamental. Having to have the exact same version cards and having to pay the extra for the master card. It sounds easier to keep my options open with SLi. Seems a lot more flexible if I wanted to just whack in another gpu in say 6-12 months time.

    same version!? You don't need the same version of card, you can mix and match but it will only go as fast as your slowest card.
