Hello!

First, sorry for my english ... I am Brazilian. XD

Well, I have a terrible doubt.

I will do an upgrade on my motherboard and I do not know which one to choose.

I am between the X48 and P45 chipsets.

- P45:
P5Q-E
P5Q Deluxe

- X48:
Rampage Formula
P5E Deluxe

I do not know what I choose between the four moherboards.

What are the differences between the Rampage Formula and P5E Deluxe?

And between the P5Q-E and P5Q Deluxe?

And there is an advantage for the X48? I will not do Crossfire, but the price difference here in Brazil is low, and if the X48 has a performance better than the P45, I can pay more.

Which one?

Thanks! =D
 
If you're only going to use one GPU then there is no point in paying extra to have another 16x PCI-E slot. Take the P45 board. X48 boards like the Rampage Formula often have more features than P45 boards so if you like goes features, then get the board. Since you're not going to crossfire I say just go with the P5Q Deluxe.
