I was thinking about upgrading my motherboard to support the new graphics card I was going to buy, a Radeon HD 4850, and had a question. Would it be more worthwhile in the long run to buy a motherboard without pci-e 2.0 but with crossfire support, or a motherboard with pci-express 2.0 but no crossfire support?

Neither really matters. Just get a P45.
