I narrowed my choices down to these to mobos by asus...
ASUS P6X58D Premium
ASUS Rampage III Extreme
The main issue is the configuration of the pci-e slots, the rampage 3 has more slots and more variation, the p6x58d optimally allows 16x 16x 1x but the cards would be right next to each other restricting airflow. The third pci-e slot always remains at 1x unless a third card is installed in which it would change to 8x. However otherwise I heard this board is amazing, so I was just wondering which board you guys think I should go for! My pc is getting more and more expensive so if there isnt a substantial benefit going with the rampage 3 then ill just get the p6x58d. thanks!
