What changes should i make? also, would this be a good board for xfiring? iv been told i could get up to 4, but thats pretty crazy, but for 3 would it be x16/x16/x16 or x16/x8/x8 or what? because id quite like to just keep adding graphics cards, like having 3 gtx 460's would be quite alot of power.
