Need a motherboard that enables 16x Crossfire in both lanes. I am looking at the ASUS P5E Deluxe but been reading mixed reviews. Can anyone give me some insight on this board? And I also heard this board is very picky with RAM. I currently have OCZ Platinum-Gold DDR2 PC28500 (1066) 4GB. Thanks in advance for responses :)
 
you need or want a board with x16? cause not to pricy doesnt fit if you want a board with dual x16 lanes. the best route to go for not to much are the P5Q-E or the P5Q-Pro boards...
 
P5Q Pro will only do an 8x link though. However, it is a solid board and the 8x link doesn't slow things down very much.

If you want a true 16x link then you need either an X38 or X48 chipset. So that's where the P5E comes in.
