Hmm if that motherboard has support for both DDR 2 and DDR 3 I would go out and buy it in a second no matter what the price is. I just can't find a SLI motherboard that supports both memory standards as well as "upcoming" 45nm processors.

Nvidia said the 680i cant support the quad core 45nm's because of the lay out. I'm guessing they changed the 780i's.

I thought at the moment the 780i will over support Dual 45nm CPU and not quad ones, which I thought was pretty useless. Also it seems that the 780i is just an old 680i with added PCI-E 2.0 support. Researching for my new computer gives me an overall impression that the market is saturated with cross fire enabled motherboards and Sli motherboards are rare in comparison. I really want to SLI two 8800GT together, but I can't find a motherboard that has SLI, support for Quad 45nm CPU and DDR2 and 3 support. That is all I ask and I have yet to find a motherboard that fits all those criteria.

Elitehacker , you are correct they will only still support the Dual Core 45nm . have a look at this (http://event.asus.com/mb/45nm/ ) .

lol I was just about to post that link, yeah, the 780i only supports Dual 45nm cpus.

I hope they change that via a BIOS update or something. I really want to get a Quad 45nm CPU enabled motherboard.

does anyone know how much this will cost and about the release date? It would be pretty sick to run 3 sli 512 8800GT's. I could care less about this 45 nm tech.
