Asus P5Q Pro or P5KC ?

[cynicoren]

Hi,
I'm looking for a decent priced motherboard that can support CF. Which of the above do you think is a better value for money ? can you please suggest other MB's that are suitable for CF and are better than the mentioned above and in the same price range ?
Thanks

P5Q Pro is a better choice for Crossfire than P5KC. It runs at x8+x8 in Crossfire, while P5KC has a slot running at x4 which really hurts. I'd avoid the P5KC anyway because dual support DDR2/DDR3 is more pain than gain.

P5E Deluxe X48 is an even better choice, but it's $225. So is GA-X48-DS4.

Read this before you buy:

Also read the two articles linked there at the end.

Edit: when you read those things, keep in mind that P5Q Pro is a P45, P5KC is a P35, and P5E Deluxe/GA-X48-DS4 are both X48.
