I indeed enjoyed the GTX 285 with the Superpipe, the micro-ATX 785GM-E65 was one of the nicest HTPC boards that I have tested, and they currently have one of the few motherboards out there that can vouch for quad CrossFire with an AM3 processor. From the first they were known for having some uncommonly innovative designs, but they had a few years where caustic corners in the final analysis shop-worn their name. For the days of yore few years though, MSI has uncommonly redefined themselves as a top step point body with a seemly accomplishments of distinction products. The nForce 980a is one of the last chipsets to be designed by NVIDIA for the AMD marketplace. The 980a is well-deserved a rebranded 780a, which in itself is a nForce 750a chipset combined with the nForce 200 tie interpose. It was acknowledged the 980a moniker because it had been successfully tested with AM3 parts from AMD. This will doubtlessly be the last chipset from NVIDIA for the AMD CPUs, which will of undoubtedly institute SLI funding in expected generations of products on the AMD tenets… spellbinding.

I want to have a motherboard that you can Xfire and SLI and please if there is one, point me into the governing!
I as a person would go with the 980a. reason one being its higher rated..use one's head two being its slightly cheaper.
Based on the nForce 980a SLI chipset (rebranded 780a SLI), the na ATX board has a 4+1 phase power drawing, APS (Active Phase Switching), support for AM3 processors, four DDR3-2133 retention slots, three PCI-Express x16 slots backed by an NF200 scrap that provide 3-way SLI readiness, and DirectX 10 integrated graphics.
The partnership MSI is preparing to release the motherboard for the platform AMD AM3. At this pass, as a system of logic will make the product NVIDIA - nForce 980a chipset with sustenance for the functionality of SLI.
