Still, if someone could benchmark the CF difference between the P45 and the X38 (in english), it would assist me (and likely others) even further.
You could just keep your current mobo and get a HD4870 X2

As you know the 4870 X2 doesn't use an internal CF bridge to connect the cores... it has some other means ( I dont believe it, but people here says its fact ), if thats true the scaling should be nearly 100 %, as there would be now scaling as the whole point of the 4870 X2 is for the innovation of the gpu industry...

There would be absolutely no point in making if it couldnt do it.

I personally think that tech is much too complex, but if true it should perform better than a 4870 CF... by how much... probably 15 - 25 %

None of that micro stuttering bollix to deal with either
