Early this year we reviewed the Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe, a high-end Phenom supporting motherboard that featured the AMD 790FX chipset. But while gamers wanting to use Crossfire technology will no doubt be quite happy with that product, those wanting to use multiple Nvidia-based graphics cards are going to have to look elsewhere.Unfortunately SLI support does come at a price and choice premium for AMD users. The Asus Crosshair II Formula that we will be testing today features the Nvidia nForce 780a SLI chipset, which is currently the most advanced SLI capable chipset available to AMD users. This new Asus motherboard is a member of the elite “Republic of Gamers” series, meaning that it is geared towards gaming.

Plus, there's no massive sucking sound that comes standard with every AMD Phenom.

However, I threw too much money into an E6750 and a P35 board, and if I were to swap it for a Phenom, it would be at best a lateral move, and probably worse, at a cost of 200.- or more.
Two GTX 280s and a Q9550 is more than anybody needs for gaming. Heck, most games will run just fine with a pair of 8800 GTXs and a Q6600, even with all settings on their highest (even Crysis.)
