Hey all, I just bought a 4850 yesterday and love it. It was a huge upgrade from my 8800gts640. I am running an almost 2 year old Intel Bad Axe 2 motherboard with an E6600 at 3.2ghz and wanted to know if you think crossfire would work ok with it or if it would give me less performance since one slot is 16x and the other is 8x? I'm assuming that the 16x slot will be throttled down to 8x or am I wrong? The board is certified for crossfire and I am finding threads from a year ago where people say it works great with this board. I just don't want to buy a new motherboard and processor yet with Nehalem around the corner. What are your thoughts on this board and crossfire?
