Hey all

I bought a Gigabyte GA-965-DQ6 Mudda board and put a Core 2 Duo Processor (E6400 2.13GHz) With 2x 1gig Kingston Ram in it ...

I am looking for 2x Grafix cards but I'm not sure which ones would best suit Ati Crossfire cards I've been told are the way to go for this Mudda Board ,Something to do with chip sets not being compatable with nvidia ...

Any help would be much appreciated

Right. You have to use crossfire with a 965 chipset. SLI is not supported.

The new AIT drivers support crossfire without a crossfire master card, so two x1950s should kick butt. I'm using a single X1900XTX and it handles whatever I throw at it just.
