I'm looking at getting a new mobo it going to be a cheap one, it needs to be efficient, and have room to upgrade.

I'm looking at the p45's since they are great for crossfire and i plan on getting one ati 4870 now and maybe a second much further down the road when they are cheap, so i need the 2X pci-e 2.0 variety of the p45.

here are my final choices.

a list of asrock's with some open boxs, and what i like about these is I can also upgrade to ddr3 when the prices come down or i see a good deal in the classifieds.

what do you guys think?


the mobo ill be using in the mean time is an older asrock with a 4x pcie slot and ddr /ddr2 but i dont want to use it for long. I also have an e4300 that i should get soon for a cpu, that ill think about upgrading later on when i do crossfire.
