780i upgrade program was announced.The shame of it is nVidia and or eVGA should have come out and should have been honest enough to say oop's the 680i's wont run penryn chips.They didn't they kept quiet and are now offering at least eVGA is offering this new mobo as a paid for upgrade to those who own the 680i and want to run a penryn chip
either wolfdale or yorkshire.Plus the added kicker of sli-3-way.The question I have is will the 680i run three-way sli???? With a bios update???? Zardon or any of the site admins
do you know??

the 680i board will only support the dual core 45nm CPUs, but not the quad core 45nm CPUs. also, the current 680i board does support 3-way SLI, but like kris mentions, there's bandwith limitation on that 3rd PCI-E slot.
