Anyone know which of the 800 chipset mobos support Xfire with at least 8 x 8 pci-e speed?
Cheers

Generally any of the 890 boards, though I'm sure some cheaper ones will as well.

Cheapest at OcUK is the Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H.

I have that board, it's oh so very good, apart from only 8x 8x.

if you want 16x 16x, you'll need to go up quite a long way in the range. Not sure on the name but I'm pretty sure the £160 board supports it.

890GX will do 8x/8x, and 869fx will do 16x/16x or 8x/8x/8x/8x (depending of number of pcie slots)
