I heard AMI BIOS got bought out, any idea on the time frame of the switch? I was doing some research on an i7 build and HOLY mother that would be expensive! Esp for an i7 920, X58 MB and SLI'd GTX280's. I'll stay with AMD Until I win the lottery or until I have $1500 to toss around.


Here's what I need with the board:

AM2+/AM3 socket (I'm running an AM2+ PII 940 tho)
790gx of fx
X-Fire 3 PCI-E Slots (Why is this so hard to find?)
1066 or 1200 DIMM Support
As Many USB's as possible
8 pin CPU Power plug
6 or 8 SATA slots
Award or Phoenix BIOS

Trying to stay away from Asus until they fix their BIOS.. (Don't ask unless u want me to rant.)


Sorry for the annoying question. Any help is appreciated..
 
i dont know if these mobo's have the bios that you want, but they seem like the only ones (on n/e atleast) that fit your criteria.

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA790FX-UD5P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

you said that you wanted 3 pci-e slots, so im gonna assume that you wanna use all 3. but that would mean that if you wanna go xfire, one of the gpu's will have to have a single slot cooler. that looks like the only way you're gonna get xfire and 3 usable pci-e slots.
