I have just read a piece about mobos(research for my upgrade later this year)
Now the way to go is duel GFX cards,and both ATI and Nvidia do have solutions (slighty different)for running two cards
Im a Nvidia man and their solution was two identical cards,which could prove costly
But,this is what I have read

Shocked with the new drivers, you no longer need matching brands or even clock speeds of cards,you just plug them in and away you go,with the drivers automatically adjusting the settings for you Shocked

Now I have not yet checked this out(I will)
If true then this is great news

One fly in the ointment though AMD are to bring out a socket 940 duel core chip(cooler running than the 939 chip)

Just when you thought it was going to be easy Rolling Eyes

939 should be fine for a while

you can happily cool 939 CPUs, even with the standard heatsink and fan.. get a fancy one and there should be no issues.

Always stay a step behind the latest tech is best I find Smile let other go before you and have all the issues.

I remember when Pentium processors first arrived and were burning themselves through people's motherboards Smile
