I was going to get this motherboard because it works with crossfire. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131297

However, one of the reviews says :Cons: 8X Crossfire though that probably only makes a difference for huge monitors. My HD4850 blocks one SATA port (angled cable would work)

The HD4850 is the same graphics card I order... is he saying I won't be able to crossfire 2 HD4850s?

Just from what little you quoted, it sounds like he's saying it's blocking one of is sata ports. If, that's the only problem, I wouldn't worry unless your planning on using all the sata ports.

his SA-TA port is probably blocked because he either got a big HD4850 card (i've heard the sapphire HD4850 is pretty big in comparison with other cards) or a small case. your experience with the product varies from other people.
