im looking to build a new rig using XFX radeons since XFX is the second best gpu maker around imo, but im still a little confused on the mobo part for xfire. i know i at least want a p43/p45 mobo for xfire and i have found 2 that im trying to decide between now if the one with 3 pci-e slots will support tri-fire then ill go for that one, btw the 3 pci-e slot is the more expensive one.

2 pci-e slots http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128358

3 pci-e slots http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128346 (will it run tri-fire?)

i hope the second mobo will do do tri-fire because the rig im building i would like it to last and 3x 4870 i know will play games for the next few years.
