ASUS P5W DH DELUXE EDITION

This is the motherboard I want to buy here, in Argentina.
Please tell me some experiences with this motherboard.
It cost around u$s 280. I don´t know its price in USA.

The Motherboard has Crossfiretechnology. But both cards will work only at 8X at the same time? Is it true?
Could a possible Bios upgrade change it to 16X 16X with both cards working at the same time?

Thanks a lot...
Sorry about my english!!! Jejeje :toast:

If the MB only has x8 for PCI-E, then modifying the bios won't change the number of PCI-E lanes available. It is a physical limitation of the chipset.

The Motherboard has two PCI-Express 16X ports, but the Asus Web page says that in Crossfire mode cards will work at 8x each one. That is why i was wonderding about a possible Bios upgrade to change that.

Do you know or heard some experiences about this motherboard? If it is good for overclocking or it is outsatnding for overclocking....
