MSI releases CrossFire ready 965 motherboard

CrossFire systems aren't nearly as prevalent as SLI, so it's interesting when new platforms come out for them. Yesterday, MSI announced the release of a new motherboard based on the P965 chipset, supporting Core 2 processors, with dual PCI Express x16 slots ready to be equipped with dual CrossFire cards. It has the ICH8R southbridge, support for DDR2-800, 8-channel audio and onboard LAN. What's most interesting is the support for onboard RAID5 and RAID10, giving you many more options for drive configuration. It's a neat looking board, too. Based on other systems using the P965 it'll probably be a solid performer, too. Neat stuff.
