Skyhawk669 and kcarlile,

You summed up my exact thoughts regarding AMD and Crossfire/SLI. I'm already spending more than I had intended and can't see myself spending $500+ on GPUs alone.

I hope AMD gets their act together. I recall reading that they bled out 1.7 billion in the final 1/4 of last year. Ouch. Phenom doesn't seem to be the answer either.

Can anyone commend on the difference between the P35 and G33 chipsets? (Asus P5K and P5K-V respectively). People keep saying to go with the P35 over the G33 but cannot seem to explain why the P35 is better. I realize that the G33's integrated graphics won't be used due to my GPU but I figure that since the two boards are the same price, why not opt for the G33? Thoughts?
