2x9800GX2 = 4 Geforce 9800GTX cores, so goes like this:

1st GPU: 100% Efficiency
2nd GPU: 75% Efficiency
3rd GPU: 30% Efficiency
4th GPU: Less than 10% Efficiency

Which basically means that you gain less than 10% on your performance when you add the 4th GPU.

Remember that the GX2 had a very bad SLI config, and Nvidia has since improved on-board SLI on their Dual GPU cards. So I'd sell the 9800GX2 and grab a couple of GTX 260 216s.

+1 @ perkam, but the NV chips arnt really good price to performance now or overall 2 4890 1ghz would be the best IMO

and i think that the dfi x58 jr would be better it has proper placement for the 8 pin, and they have a vary similar desighn other than that 8pin placement
