Actually $400 = £200, thats still cheaper then the Asus Asus P5E3 Premium WiFi :

But the only thing I want right now in the motherboard department is a cheap alternative to the P35 that has 2x 16x PCI-E lanes for crossfire. Nvidia has the 650i and 750i for cheap SLI, but still nothing decent for ATI unless you want to cripple your second card on a 4x slot.

A 1x 16x or 2x 8x solution like when SLI was first released would even be better then a 16x and a 4x IMO. But theres no reason why they cant offer two full 16x lanes on budget boards if Nvidia are able to do so.

Both the X38 and X48 are far too expensive for a budget buyer wanting to use crossfire.
8 X 8 PCI-E scored better than 16 X 16 and 16 X 4. But the overall result showed much to do about nothing. Or little or no difference. I'm not running CF yet, but if I did, 16 X 4 is the least of my worries. I wish some one would post that review again
