Buy a Asus A8R32-MVP show you can see what graphics are all about.

heard alot of problems about the MVP, may go with the DFI

The A8R-MVP had some issues, but the A8R32-MVP is pretty solid.

Mine ain't. It runs, and it hauls ass in 3d with Crossfire 1900's...but USB is borked, audio is borked, it doesn't OC as well as my Abit AN8-32X, won't go past 270 HT (with the latest BIOS), and so on.

The more I use this DFI board the more I like it.

Well DFI boards are ALWAYS going to be iffy. I'm especially unhappy with their Crossfire releases, which have gained a notorious reputation for overvolting RAM and processors to a deadly degree. On the other hand, the A8R32-MVP seems to be a star performer.

Seems to be a great board overall. That's the one I would go with. And also, to answer your initial question, I would sell the ATI X1900XT and just run Crossfire with the HiS X1900XT that you already have.
