My 2 coppers tell me that:
975 = High-end, Crossfire native
965 = No native dual card support although you will find dual 16x pcie slots. In some cases suggesting that its crossfire. In the future I can also see this being sli as well. There is really nothing stopping this from happening. Though it is "newer" and along with supposed C2D memory performance improvements, it's always paired with the superior ich8 southbridge.
remember the intent was to keep the 965 chipset from a specific crossfire, sli setup it doesn't mean that it will. Some have rumored that the 965 is in fact the 985 or a variant there of.
Buy none of this is actually proven in performance benefits...
