I'd go for a P45 chipset board myself, a bit cheaper.

Also any reason for DDR3 Ram? I'd personally just go for DDR2, but get 4GB's.

+1 for 4GB's of ddr2 as ddr3 not really needed yet

Asus P5Q Pro and 4gb of DDR2 is all thats really needed here !

*Edit* X48 is the best choice if you are really serious about Crossfiring two X2s (like I have done, and its not exactly worth it in my opinion) then I would highly recommend one of the Rampage boards and at least 4gb of memory. You're going into territory where your entire system needs to be top notch or there is no point in having 2 of these monsters.

A system is only as powerful as its weakest component !

thanks i no that p45 cross fires and i am going for 4 gig of ddr3 as this is what every body will be using soon,and i am going to OC the ram so it will be faster than ddr2 and x48 is better for cross fire (fact)so thanks
