    In terms of pure gaming power, SLI & Crossfire are the king. What are your requirements such as the games you play, resolution, and any other uses?

    Well there are 2 new MOBO Chipsets hitting the market and here are some articles on comparisons on MOBO's for each new Chipset to get you started:

    " X48 Motherboard Comparison":

    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/x48-motherboard-comparison,1781-2.html

    " NFORCE 780a SLI Motherboard Comparison":

    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-motherboard-sli,1927.html

    and " High-End Chipset Battle":

    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/x48-790i-chipset,1940.html

    This will present some of the latest MOBO's on the market with some of the latest Technology. Whether theses are refined sufficiently yet to out-perform previous "bleeding edge" models is yet to be determined by myself but it is a start.

    Many reviews on MOBO's in general, but some would infer a questionable review site:

    Will look for some decent reviews and post back.
