Agreed. MSI have the worst motherboards and video cards by far. What I went through to get my MSI 3870 RMAed I wont even look at a MSI product anymore. 3 dead video cards and 2 dead motherboards later I can come to the conclusion MSI SUCKS. I'd rather take biostar or even ECS over them.

well after reading a review of the P5Q PRO, I think that P45 DO NOT support full x16 x16 crossfiring, only x8 x8...but please correct me if i'm wrong, which I actually hope I am...

Goodness, now i'm back to the P45 chipset because the giga is a little pricey (I know, i'm cheap), specifically the Biostar, though the P5Q seems like a good bet as well...

oh god please help me decide...

So, what'll it be, gents?

i'm torn, and i'm relying on you, my trusted advisors, to make a decision:

Should I get the Giga X48 and take the monetary hit

Should I get a P45 and suffer graphics penalties

Its almost all up to you...
