>>thanks, never would do crossfire. Do not game as much as I used
to but my son is up and coming. :-[
>>wound up ordering a Asus Maximums II and a e8600.
I am running one of these with a Q9650 and 8GB of Cosair.... a great
board, very feature rich, very stable. Maximum PC Kick Ass award last
September.... read the review... got 9 our of 10. But don't use
cable select on PATA drives with this board... doesn't play nice. The
little external LCD screen that comes with it is pretty cool.
I am also running three monitors so I use two ASUS 4870s video cards.
I am not a gamer but tried Crossfire.... you loose everything but one
monitor once enabled.... and didn't notice any real change probably
because I don't play any game that would push both cards.
