Foxconn P45A Mobo Opinions

[ccubed]

I was looking at the Foxconn P45A-S in comparison to the ASUS P5Q Pro. I notice that the Asus only supports 8x speeds in Crossfire while it seems that the Foxconn supports full 16x speeds. Does anyone have experience with the Foxconn mobo? Is it really getting full 16x Crossfire speeds? Any overclock problems or concerns with it?

I was originally building around the Asus mobo and an ATI 4850 with the thought that I might eventually use Crossfire, but the 8x speed limit kind of dampened my enthusiasm. This Foxconn seems like a good deal at that price range if it really gets 16x Crossfire.

Any thoughts or experiences?

All P45 boards are 8x8 PCI-E 2.0 Crossfire (two cards). A single card used on a P45 works at 16x 2.0. Only the X38/48 from Intel and 790FX from AMD support full 16x16 2.0 Crossfire.
