Don't bother. The 4x slot cripples performance. Try to find a cheap X38 board like this:

A 4870 would be wasted on a 4x.
Agree with Reflux... don't bother.
I used 2900XT's on a P35 mobo and the xfire performance was terrible.
If i were you i'd get a P45 chipset as that would be much better. X38 is also a decent alternative.

can't remember were but there was a web artical covering this with P965 P35 and x48 among others , and the P35 board (think it was my humble p5k D ) showed that crossfire was complete waste with two 4870 , if u have a 4870 , sell it get a 4870X2 if you don't get a 4870X2 of similar/faster speeds
