I have the following system

EVGA 790i Ultra SLI mobo
Intel E8400 processor @ 3.0 (Will OC this soon)
4 x 2 GB Kingston HyperX memory, 1600 MHz
3 x 750 GB WD hard drives (Will probably get raptors in Raid in the future)
9800GX2 video card(can't remember the manufacturer)
28" Monitor Hannspree @ 1920 x 1200
Vista Ultimate 64 bit


I am thinking of getting a 4870X2 or maybe two of them and run them in crossfire so I need a new motherboard. I'd like it to have the following:

DDR3 memory
2 PCI-E 16X running at 16 X
be a great overclocker
crossfire compatible

What do you recommend?
 
I recommend the board I use :)

Asus P5E3 Premium.

DDR3 memory Check
2 PCI-E 16X running at 16 X Check
be a great overclocker 590 fsb with everything on auto good enough?
crossfire compatible Check
 
man what i wouldnt give for that 790 mobo....:drool:

listen to Thideras he knows his $***

that will be a nice set up (not that the current has anything wrong with it)
 
Lots of reviews on newegg have people complaining about the bios shipped with the board.

Did you have any issues when you got it?
