I currently have a P5N-E SLI motherboard
http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5NE_SLI/
Currently I have two xfx 8800GT run in SLI that have provided me with enough graphical power for years,
they have finally run their course and I am thinking of upgrading.
Would a HD Radeon 6950 run with this motherboard?
It seems to be the next equivalent of the 8800GT for this generation which is exactly what I'm after,
not to mention it is good value for money.
It should have the juice to run my photography programs and latest games e.g. skyrim
(I will overclock it also by flashing to the 6970)

Any help would be appreciated.
If the two will not work together in harmony then can you suggest any new motherboards?
(link them from PC Titan if you can)
