I have always been an AMD fan and since the AMD CPU's prices are dropping rapidly due to the release of the Core 2 duo, i couldn't be more happier. This is what I'm thinking of getting:
Motherboard: All crossfire ready, AMD x580 Chipset
ASUS M2R32-MVP or MSI K9A Platinum or ECS KA3 MVP
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+
Memory: Corsair DDR2 PC2-5400 667MHz 2GB
Video cards : 2 of ASUS EAX1650XT CrossFire/2DHT/256M/A
Now my question are which motherboard will benefiet me the most? They all have the same chipsets and their price is rather close so which one are they going to make any difference? Should i get a faster CPU than the one im planning to get? I do a lot of gaming. And lastly, for the crossfire thing to work, do i need 2 crossfire ready video cards linked up or just 1? 1 will really lower the price on the machine but will it be useless by itself?
