Well, not too sure what you're exact taste in boards is, but HERE (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010200280%204017%201070509908%201070731640%2014 94334966%201070625638&name=Quad-core%20%2f%20Core%202%20Extreme%20%2f%20Core%202%2 0Duo%20%2f%20Pentium) is a direct link to all of neweggs motherboards with the 1600/1333 mhz ($100-$200)range that support SLI. Hope you find something in your interest.

What is the reason for a new MOBO? Do you have an ATI or nVidia graphics card?

I'm getting a EVGA Nvidia 8800gt Soon. still in the process of buying/building the comp.

Okay, well since you are going nVidia, then you need to get a MOBO that supports SLI.

Check out this ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131232) MOBO. It supports SLI and Intel CPUs

he doesnt need a nvidia board just coz he has nvidia card,he only need a nvidia board if he plans to go sli i would recomend intel boards over nvidias line up of crap eny day IMP.

Intel boards are good, but for future upgrades, an SLI supported MOBO will serve his best interest. How would you like to spend money on a nice Intel MOBO, then find out your simplest route for an upgrade (going SLI) isn't an option? nVidia is not "crap." They have some very good chipsets on the market. I suggest things by future upgrade-ability, price, benchmarks and their budget. Not by my preference or bias.
