    Won't work unless it specifies both. If it's an nForce chipset, it definitely won't, some high end Intel chipsets can handle both.
    You need one that mentions crossfire or it will not work.

    Also this belongs in desktop review.

    Yeah, it needs to say "Crossfire". But I've also found some mobo's that never say "Crossfire compatible" on the box, but in the manual it stated that it was completely crossfire compatible, so you might wanna read the manual just to verify, but 99% of the time the box will say it.
