for a 4870X2 the X16 will give u a 5-7% Gain so u should really consider getting the x48 if u can

X2 4870x2 isnt worth it really.
If your looking for a Board to CF on the Rampage Formula or the P5E are both great boards.

I wouldn't get the 900, unless you plan on modding it. I had a lot of trouble getting a 8800GTX to fit well in it, and the 4870x2 is longer. You should defiantly get yourself an nice full tower.

I have one of each, and I'll say without reservation that if you can't afford the extra $20 or so to get the X48, you should go clean out your couch, work at McDonald's, or (unprintable) until you get the $20. It will be worth it.

Confused!!!
Ok, conclusions,
im going for crossfire with X16 X16...
but which motherborad is the best? I understand that the 20$ between aX38 and X48
is big, and I've heard that X38 Dfi gets to very low FSB,
so the options are:
Asus rampage formula (360$)
Asus P5E Deluxe (300$)
DFI X48 T2RS (270$)
Which one is better for OCing?
which is has better qualities?
which one should i take

some said that the Rampage is the best out of those,
I think I will be able to afford it but im NOT sure,
is the differences really worth it?? and by what? (better OC?/CF?)
Thanks

They're a bit more expensive in Israel, I would imagine.
