I need some help with what to get for my 2 2900 pro cards

[cleaner450]

I am looking to do mostly gaming and I want to buy 2 2900 pro video cards. What would be a good board and quad core set up to work well with these cards.

I want to do some pretty aggressive overclocking and stay under 400.00.

Please help... thanks

Well for a Crossfire setup with a quad you'll want to be looking at the X38 chipset, theres good boards from all the main manufacturers- Asus, Gigabyte, MSI. The Giga DQ6 and Abit IX38 Quad GT come to mind as solid boards.

Why pick the 2900 Pro's?

well maybe you can shed some light... I was looking at those cards because I can get 2 for about 300... I can OC them and blow away the 8800 GT... what are your thoughts I am looking for some advice.

The 2900's are power hungry beasts.
The "Pro" cards devour slightly less than the "XT" cards do, but still... :roll:
