I have a ASUS M5A99x evo motherboard and 2 ati hd5870 1g. I'm thinking about doing a 3 monitor set up in crossfire. This motherboard does 8x/8x in crossfire. Should I upgrade to a 990fx board that runs 16x/16x for this or is 8x good enough?

cpu fx 8150
ram 16 GB Corsair (didn't need this much but it's so cheap atm)
2 x 0CZ vertex2 120 GB (non raid)
1 x WD 1 Gig hd

Is that board stable? Are you running the latest BIOS?

Have you tried dual-boot WinXP and Win 7 on it?
