I'm looking for an inexpensive multi GPU capable MoBo for Folding just GPUs with. With the massive difference in PPD for GPUs vs CPUs, I don't plan on Folding on the CPU so I can use a cheap AMD CPU.

Suggestions?

If you're an Intel only guy and have an Intel MoBo suggestion, I can always use my current i7 920 Folding rig and put everything in an Intel based MoBo.

Suggestions?

TIA

It looks like that MoBo may fit 3 double slot GPU at best no? The price is right though.

That is the lowest price by far I have ever seen for the Sabertooth R2 at Newegg.

You want a cheap mobo?????????

Try the MSI 890FXA-GD70 it will run 4 GPU's @ x8 the 5th slot is x4 but WILL NOT RUN a GPU. If you look on MSI's web site, the board has a BIOS UPDATE for FX-83xx series cpu's.

Here is a link on Ebay $85.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-890FXA-...677?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf751b05d
