Good Crossfire Boards

I was looking at new nForce4 boards, but I may get a crossfire board instead.

Saw this review at Anandtech, Asus A8R-MVP:

"the highest overclock that we have ever achieved with our standard OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev.2 memory and our 4000+ CPU."

That sounds promising! I was going to get a new CPU, maybe the x2 3800+, but may get a board first and a chip later (have a 3200+ Venice).

Any other board suggestions? That Asus one is only like $115!

I have played around with the Asus and the MSI XFire boards. Both are plenty fast. But the Asus proved to be the better overclocker.

Thanks for the input guys, and welcome TDub!

I have seen no mention of this issue from review sites, but the customer reviews at Newegg all gripe about poor power features on the ASUS board... Any idea if that was an early Rev? Dumb users? An ongoing problem?
