I'm looking for an Intel board that supports Crossfire, just at least two cards, because I want to do Crossfire with two HD 4850's. Anyone know of any good ones? Thanks much!

Everything is better with explosions.

The Gigabyte X48-DS4 supports crossfire.

224$ for it right now.

That seems like a pretty cool one, I'd like to get it, but it doesn't support DDR2 800. Do you know a version of this one that supports DDR2 800?

Most boards generally list the highest compatable RAM they can use, even though they can run pretty much anything that'll fit in the slot.
