I have never used AMD before, but I have been watching their CPU/Chipset combos working w/ 100% stability for 4 months now.
I would love to use an Intel solution once again, but I think if I do it better have the number 5 at the end of it's chipset....
P55's look very sweet and use 2 x PCI-e 16X slots instead of 3 and 4, and because I am seeing multiple 1X's I find that comforting.
Also the proven 2 channel DDR3 and LGA1156 means it's a reasonably priced solution.
I see no need paying 2-300 for a motherboard where I only need 1 freakin' slot for my XITE-1...........AARRRRFFFFF.!!!!!........... :lol:

I know, I am sweating that looking at the 125watt Quads.
Thermaltake has a great 1U HSF combo so heat is no problem but 125w reminds me of the Prescotts disappation and energy loss.
We'll never find the perfect design unless Intel starts taking custom orders......... :lol:

Back on topic and away from waffling.
I use a ASUS P5QL-E for running 3 cards with a quad core.
It works fine.
The only thing I dont like is that the 3 PCI slots are very close to each other.

I hope this helps to make a decision.
Well, it does! I'll order the ASUS P5QL-E. Any suggestions regarding supported memory?

Thanks again everyone.
