Planning on using ASUS p5qpro board with 2x4850
Like the playtech beast with the rather high 3Dmark test

I believe this board supports 2x16xPCI2.0 slots but im pretty sure the p45 chipset only runs at 8x link crossfire. (different coloured Buses)

X38/X48 chipset supports full speed crossfire link, 16x I would think.(same coloured Buses)

What perfromance would I expect comparing each other?
Does a lower speed greatly depreciate performance?

Cant seem to find benchmarking results comparing the 2.
Was hoping to build over the weekend.
Now i am just confused?
