Default Is this board good for a folding rig.
I want to get into folding and start off with an inexpensive, but upgradeable rig, would this mobo be a step in the right direction for the number GPU slots? or is there something better for the same price.

Here

I want to eventually get up to four 9600GSO's or something to fold once the money starts trickling in.

Thanks Guys

Hiya Megas,

Yup, that's a great folding board. I have seen quite a few of our power folders here with that same mobo. The price is good too. Grab it, it is a great start of a farm.
