Crossfire bridges?  All they're doing is stopping the cards flopping about.  Pointless otherwise.

I do like the Asus SABERTOOTH boards - I recently got the FX990 R2 SABERTOOTH, it's without doubt the nicest board I've ever had.  Well worth the money, and I'm glad I didn't spend the extra £100 on the Asus P8B WS as I was going to.
