hello guys, i`m planing to get a new mobo and those 3 models a like so much, and i can be lucky to enable the 4th core..

the firts one from FOXCON..

i saw in newegg someone saying that this could run both, crossfire and sli.. 16x/16x so there is a + for sure..

2nd one from asus (ASUS M4A78TE AM3 AMD Motherboard) this can unlock the 4th core

third one from asus (M4A785TD-V EVO) this can unlock the 4th core

It can't run both CrossFire and SLI, only CrossFire.

None of those motherboards are able to run SLi natively, you'll have to look elsewhere.

M4N82 Deluxe might be the best AMD board where SLI works.

Unfortunately, no you won't be able to. You will need to find a northbridge chipset that will run SLI. The AMD ones will run X-Fire and the Nvidia ones will run SLI. For now I'm really disappointed at the lack of AM3 boards with Nvidia NBs.

Never trust Newegg reviews.

No AMD chipset can natively support SLI.

but somehow this can be done ?

and what about this: took the asus M4A78T-E ( i think is the best of the three) and sell my two babys and buy a single gtx285 (please, i know ati kickass atm, but i just dont want ati)

this move is wise ? cuz two gtx260 are way faster than a single gtx285

Get GTX295, you should get that with those GTX260's.

It's contained on one PCB, acts as one card

Also: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1070 this little "hack" might allow SLI to run on your MOBO. But know nothing about it other than that
