need FAST recommendation - mobo that runs two PCIe at x16 (not 16/4 or 8/8)

I think I need to upgrade my mobo, since mine runs the two PCIe slots at 16/4, and with dual graphics cards one is gonna be seriously crippled.

so I'm looking for a mobo that'll run two PCIe slots at 16x each, at the same time. first one I found quickly is Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, which if I buy TODAY I can get a decent rebate on it (I'm in CANADA, so prices / offers are not the same as USA)

AMD or Intel, doesn't matter.
any form factor.

I'd likely reuse my RAM for the short/medium term (DDR3-1333 or DDR3-1600), but obviously my FM1 CPU won't be able to move.

Ya I realize that I'd need to get a new CPU, and I guess I got lucky since I got that Gig board and specs say the PCIe runs like I expect. Good thing I bought it - rebate was great so I managed to get it for nearly half price. Turns out the only other options were Z87-based boards which would have run me 3-4 times as much...
