    thanks, yea I read the newegg reviews, but I don't really put too much faith in them. Some people have bad experiences and completely insult an overall great product... While others have good experiences and unnecessarily praise a product for what it really isn't.

    Anyway, I was hoping for something a bit more official (such as from anandtech or something...) Thanks though!

    btw, if I can go off topic in here...

    If I have an nforce SLI motherboard, can I still use 2 ATI cards? what about the other way around... If I have a crossfire chipset like the X38, can I use 2 Nvidia video cards?

    I'm just confused about the whole SLI/crossfire thing...

    No, if you have a Nforce motherboard, you cannot use 2 ait cards; well you could but you couldnt use CF and therefore the second one would go to waste.

    If you have a Intel chipset, like the X38, your options are limited to just using CF.
