i actually just bought your number 1 choice. I really enjoy this motherboard, although i ended up buying a CPU that wasnt very good at overclocking, so i havent been able to push the potentials.

The only downfall i see with it is being if you crossfire. It goes from being full x16 to a (x8, x8) so if you are looking at a crossfire setup. i wouldnt go with that.

Hope this helps in a little bit of a way.

people claim it is, but with anything other that a couple x2's, or 4890's i doubt it makes a big difference...
