yeah,you are gonna have to go back,they just "assumed" it does support 8.1 because it supported 8. Make sure to leave a report on their site though,so they fix that white lie.

Dont use that motherboard would be my advice .
It definitely cant crossfire two graphics cards because it doesnt have 2 pci-e x16 slots.
It uses an older 760g chipset so even if it did have a second slot it couldnt crossfire.

Instead pay a little extra and use a board with a 970 chipset . The only one of those capable of real crossfire is the Asrock 970 Extreme4 . And thats only because Asrock have wired it up as a 990X chipset
Any board cheaper than that and your crossfire efforts just wont work

And NO , crossfireX is NOT crossfire

My current PC is built up from a DELL workstation T3400 with CPU E6750 , 4GB RAM DDR2, using thermaltake 500W lite PSU, currently using one of my ATI HD4890 Sapphire . I am planning to upgrade with the system at post #1, but i still want to keep this as my backup PC. I can see my CPU is a big drawback there, I have a NVIDIA GTS450 spare i could use it on this PC. Could you guys give me recommendation on maximum upgrade this machine with lowest budget ? thanks a lot

That motherboard does not have 2 x8 slots . It cannot ever SLI or crossfire . Neither is possible with a 760g chipset

Your dell is prety maxed out already,the dell motherboard does not allow much expansion.DDR2 ram is way too expensive to justify getting,and i can't guarantee your motherboard BIOS will accept a better CPU. Even then,ebay prices are not exciting for what would fit. Safe to say,your PC is old.

yeah it doesn't surprise me. it is old. but i wonder if i could get a better CPU for it, as i like putting my pc sleep all the time and my ram sometime couldn't take it. i run a lot of tabs in google Chrome and it eats my ram like hell. Sometime i can feel my pc real slow. Second important matter is that i upgraded my windows to windows 8.1 and apparently my ATI driver is not working anymore. the ATI catalyst control is not working anymore. my display adapter driver is running Microsoft corporation driver. I am not sure but the card seems slow then my proper driver back in windows 8. anyone could advise me a solution for this problem please ?
