The model is called the Jetway JXBLUE-78GA3L-LF

I couldn't resist giving this board a chance. It is probably one of the more flexible low cost motherboards I've ever seen. It supports crossfire in X16/X4 mode and has both capability to have either 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM or DDR3 RAM. Hell, I didn't know they made tweener boards like this. It sounds awfully experimental and I like experiments.

I plan on using a mediocre 250 gig PATA/IDE 7200 RPM hard drive as that is all I have left to use with an Athlon X2 6000, 4 gigs of DDR2 800 RAM and 2 single slot 4850s in crossfire for a backward compatible Windows XP 32 bit gamer with a cheap Soundblaster Audigy SE. Luckily I have the OCZ 700 watt power supply in the spare part bin.

Join me in the experiment!!! :pimp:
 
That would be a good mobo for crunching...'specially if it could support an X6.
