Maybe he meant to have 2 of those. But then again, it's confusing 
And with those news about defective chips from nVidia, i don't know... Besides, DX10.1 games might be getting closer 
Then again... Again... It's fuss and nothing certain XD
Get the 9800GX2 and hope u don't get a fried card in the short run if u only want $/perf in games.
Good Luck!
Esop!

Yeah, if you're willing to jump through hoops.

There's a $245 ar one in Newegg, but it just went out of stock. Too many people jumped on it at the same time.

haha i wish....but for that performance gain to me its not worth it.
Ill save the $200 and get a nice card in a year that destroys anything now.
And for single card...i doubt ill CF 4870s, just not worth it. Again ill just buy a new card instead. It seems silly to me to extend old hardware 
now i just need a nice OCing board....(maximus 2 formula!??!?! 
)

Just get a cheap p45 board for $100 or so. It overclocks like a $200 x38/48 board.
Something like this:

Trust me, there's no overclocking performance difference among different brand p45 boards. This is a major difference between current p45 and old p35 lineup, where performance difference can be significant.
But if it buys you happiness. The go for it. It's not like there's downside to a more expensive p45 board other than price.
