Need a motherboard with Sli that supports q6600....any suggestions?

I've pretty much got all my other crap figured out, but for the life of me can't find a good mother board with Sli AND Intel q6600 support that can be overclocked. Thought I had found it with the ASUS P5K DELUXE/WIFI-AP ATX Intel Motherboard but then saw that it was cross-fire only. I've looked at a bunch of others on Newegg and have seem waay to many neg. than positive comments. So for those of you that have Sli and Intel Processor running what are you using or what do you recommend? I'll post other specs if needed.

I'm wanting to stick to sli due to the new 8800gt which i hear has a slightedge over the new ati 3000 series. So PLEASE HELP so I can start ordering crap already and getting this thing going! Thanks

i was also looking at this one, but the evga one is almost the same, the striker gives the "bling" factor.

What is the main difference between these two? The only main thing I can tell is that the 680i has an extra pci-e slot, and it looks like it's cooled differently (don't know much about mobo but that's just what it looks like), also more usb ports but that's no biggie. If I don't want to pay $250 (at the link above) for that board, will the 680i LT suffice for my needs? Not sure exactly how much the different cooling will affect performance or whatnot.

Side topic question, but where are you guys getting those sick d/l speeds from that I see in your sigs? I'm curious to know what providers are offering those speeds.BlazinX

It says they're using Comcast Cable, I'm only getting 15000kb/s and I have comcast in Philadelphia =(

DO NOT GET ANY OF THE 600 SERIES MOTHERBOARDS!!!

Most are *NOT* compatible with Penryn due to changes in its microcode by Intel and because majority of the VRM's on 6x0i motherboards are not equipped to handle Penryn.

Wait for the 780i SLi if you want Penryn support and SLi support (as well as PCIe2.0).

I guess it's a good thing i'm not getting a Penryn then.....and i'm also through with waiting. Everytime I'm about to get something someone says wait, a new product is about to be released. By the time that product comes out and your about to buy that someone else will say wait, something is about to be released so wait for that to come out first. That's just how the pc industry has become.

Also,I still don't know exactly what the difference is between the 680i and the LT version. I read reviews from people who have LT and says it's the same as the 680i (same chipset) but just one less pci-e slot (for physics card) and some usb ports. So along with the price difference I've decided to go with the LT version.
