SLi-Ready Wolfdale compatible mobo?

Hi all,

I'm starting to spec out a reasonably future-proof machine and I'm a bit stuck on the motherboard. I'd ideally like it to be SLi-ready and capable of supporting the up-and-coming Wolfdale 45nm CPUs but I can't seem to get much information about whether the current i680s can do this (apart from possibly the Asus P5N32-E SLi nForce 680). Any thoughts?

680i Sli will support 45nm with future BIOS updates

Makes life easier then... I thought someone was missing a trick here.

The 680is have many issues though. Raid issues, FSB holes etc. And id of thought the P35s will be better for the up and coming new processors.

Also you will never need sli unless you have lots of money or a very big screen so dont base your motherboard choise on sli.

You could always wait for nforce 7 to arrive, apparantly that's not too far away..
