I cant seem to find a clear answer, if I pick up this board can I use my two 5870's in Ati crossfire (not hydra) @ x16/x16 pcix? or would it be x8/x8 like my current MSI gd65?
Thanks guys!
I picked up a second 5870 for crossfire only to be bummed by micro stutter.
XFX double lifetime warranty along with box and everything included. Card is perfect and looks brand new.
Check out the sweet heat pipes!
:p
Was just reading older reviews to compare launch prices and was amazed how similar the Ati 2900 story is to the 480.

Decided to go from 2 5850's in a crossfire to a single 5870 due to micro stutter.
Buyer pays shipping from 97220 zip, the card was used for about a week but was purchased as a combo deal and I need the power supply it came with.
Working out some deals with local friends I can sell my current 260 and get a 4870 512 crossfire setup spending 60$ out of pocket, or I could buy a friends GTX260 non 216 (just like mine) for 80$.
What would you do? The gtx's would look better in my case haha and google's not helping me much...
It detected my raid fine, drivers are all fine, everything works great didn't have to repair or reformat but should I? Would I gain anything formatting?
This happens every time I need new hardware, I spend weeks pulling hairs out trying to make the right decision, I'm sure you guys can relate.
Anyway I've had my dell 2405 for about 4 years now. It was 900$ at the time but I have always looked at it as the best computer purchase Ive ever made...
Hey guys, I have a evga 9800GT 512 not in use and could use some spending cash so make me a offer.
Please email me [email protected] since hardforums are blocked at work. First 100$ offer gets it or highest offer after 2 days.
I have a dell that came with 2 160g WD Raptor's striped. One disk failed and I RMA'd it back to dell. They sent me a 160g velociraptor back. I understand the velociraptor is faster than the raptor? Would i be better off with these 2 drives in a stripe or just running the velociraptor? This is a...
My buddy also has a 2405, about 2 months ago we borrowed a 360 and used it on his 2405 via component?(red green blue) After about 20 min he would get these weird horizontal lines running across the screen.

Sorry, i got a little happy with the post button.(wanted to make sure images worked)
Like alot of people i noticed that unless the GTS fan speed was close to 100% it was actually sucking in air and not blowing it out the back of the case. I used a incent(sp) to test this. All the airflow was...
The motherboard has a 4 pin power connector for the cpu fan. In the manuel it says you can plug in a 3 pin just fine, what they dont say is that the cpu will be on 100% speed no matter what.... any way around this?
I'm not much of a over clocker but with the c2d its hard not to feel like you've accomplished something.

So in filling my ipod, ive laarned how my pain stakinge efforts to label each mp3 in my 80 gig stash with a perfect filename were a complete waste. Since the ipod will only store files by the ID3 tag.
