More Information

I have the Striker Extreme mobo.... I have not been 100% happy with it up it's done ok.

I was reading up on the 11 way P45 challenge today... and i was wondering if it would be worth it to get a Asus P45 Deluxe. The only real mayjor thing i can see would be the crossfire and 2.0 pci express support. Is it really worth it?

If you plan to upgrade to Yorkie, yes, P45/780i is worth the upgrade. Otherwise, no. Stick with your current setup until it comes time for Nehalem.
