One Paragraph, so many questions: (feel free to pick out just one or two to answer)
Could someone explain to me exactly how Crossfire works? I'm considering doing some serious revamping of my system which might include a new motherboard, and definitely a new GPU. Right now I have a not-so-impressive Radeon X1300 PRO and I'm probably going to go with an X1950XT. If I get a crossfire motherboard would I be able to put that X1300 PRO to use? If so would it even be worth it? (I'll be getting a new PSU as well, so this all plays into it(The 1300 need no power supply, do I need a crossfire certified PSU in that case?)) I saw on ATI's site that they were using a GPU as a physics accelerator. Is it possible to tell my X1300 PRO it's a physics accelerator? I apologize for the ignorance, but then again I guess that's why forums were created; to share knowledge.
Thanks guys
P.S. one more thing, can a CPU be transfered from one motherboard to another, being that it's kinda glued there? I like my X2 5000 very much, and would much like to keep it if at all possible
