Does anybody have an opinion on the AM2 crossfire boards? I'm looking at the two ASUS boards:
ASUS M2R32-MVP

ASUS M2A-MVP
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131175

It seems the only difference is dual x16 lanes versus dual x8 lanes. They both have the SB600, so they should have pretty much the same feature set, right? The cheaper one even has 2 1394 ports instead of one. Am I missing something else? The $50 price difference looks pretty tempting, eh?

lets say u upgrade ur gpu - & then want to use that new gpu in crossfire - the extra x8 lanes is highly recommended... actually extra x8 lanes is recommended full stop
