    Hmm, great question. 754 is dead - no new CPUs for that socket. I wouldn't expect to much coming out for that platform. Crossfire? I don't know, but I'd bet not.

    I agree - I just don't see that happening. Sorry, but you'll probably have to upgrade your CPU. :(

    S754 is dead. Dont expect a Crossfire board for S754.

    HOWEVER EPoX makes a NF4 Chipset based S754 SLI motherboard.

    EPoX 8NPA SLi

    IMO You should sell you S754 CPU for whatever you can get for it and buy a S939 3000+ or 3200+ core CPU and grab a Nvidia chipset based mobo. Expect ATI to suffer teething pains with their new chipsets. You dont want to be their guinea pig.

    Thats what sucks though, I will end up buying a new processor for pretty much the same this cost me, and it will only be a small amount faster. Cost of a whole new system with virtually nothing to show for it.

    New (to you) Motherboard $75
    S939 Venice 3000+ ~$100
    Total: $175

    Sell your old CPU and adds some funds and it's not so much..... I know someone selling a complete Abit AN8 SLI for $100 shipped
