Best AM2 motherboard for Crossfire

Hi, I wanna set up a crossfire system consisting of 2 x HIS X1650 Pros
(512Mb GDDR3), running an AMD DC 3800 AM2 with 2Gb 677 DDR2, as you can see
it's no power/expensive system but it will do the job for me. I just need a
good motherboard to suit my needs, i was looking at the ECS KA3 Crossfire
board as it is suitable but I can't find it for sale in Australia, and I
refuse to pay $250+ for the Asus crossfire board!

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Your choices are gonna be limited. Aside from the Asus and ECS boards, there
are these two:

MSI K9A Platinum
DFI INFINITY CFX3200-M2/G

The Asus M2R32-MVP is likely the most mature Crossfire board of the bunch.
It sells for under $150 in the US. Are Aussie prices that much higher? Be
sure you don't confuse it with the expensive Asus Cross*hair* board for
LGA775.

Are the two X1650 Pros already in your possession? Those two cards perform
worse than a single X1900XT 256 MB.
