P5e or the MAXIMUS 2?

[sogangsta]

The maximus 2 uses a P45 chipset so I'm wondering if the PCI express slots are both x16? Also, Is it worth the Extra 40 to get it over the P5E? The sound card is also better on the maximus 2. It is an X-Fi card by creative.

Which should I get?

As long as it use p45 chipset, both pcie slots can't run in x16 in cf mode. It's chipset hardware limit. For dual x16, get x38/48.
