As i think my motherboard currently (pure innovation) is kaput... i think ill be needing a new one (vision m funds are now gone

)

ill want a good fast/overcloking king motherboard.

i have amd 939 and x1800xt... also gskill hz pc4000 memory (hiper type r 580w)

i was thinking the asus deluxe... but will it be ok with my ati gfx?

ive been pointed in the DFI direction too.

Asus Crossfire board if you want crossfire or like you said MSI neo4 Platinum NF4 Ultra.

If you want to go crossfire & you can wait untill March then the A8R32-MVP (the new RD580 chipset with Xpress 3200 Crossfire) may be the way to go. That should see an official release about then.

If you need to buy now then the DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-014-DF) is a very good mobo.

BTW you will not have any problems using an ATI card & Nforce based mobo, like the Asus you mentioned, the above DFI or any other.
