First off i had no idea that AMD/ATI was crap with linux before i purchased the system
INTEL I5-760 2.80GHZ 8MB LGA 1156 RET 1
1TB SATA III 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB CACHE 2
2GB DDR3 / 1600 MHZ MEMORY 2
THERMALTAKE V1 GAMING CPU FAN 1
BLACK AZZA HURRICANE 2000 FULL TOWER 1
BLACK SONY 24X DVDRW 1
12-IN-ONE INTERNAL CARD READER 1
RAID-0 STRIPING 1
ASUS P7P55D-E PRO P55 CROSSFIRE/SLI 1
NO SLI/CROSSFIRE 1
NO OPERATING SYSTEM 1
CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX POWER SUPPLY 1
ONBOARD 7.1 SOUND 1
NZXT SENTRY 2 5.25" TOUCH SCREEN FAN 1
AMD RADEON HD6850 1GB DDR5 PCIE 1
AMD RADEON HD6850 1GB DDR5 PCIE 1
i got two display cards to have two monitors in windows 7 one for gaming and one for web, vent, pc probe.... etc...
I tried installing ubuntu alongside windows 7 but as soon as i used the ati drivers i broke ubuntu.
Just wanting to know if there might be a better distro or away to make those xfx 6850's work
Also if i have the two cards in linux can i duel monitor there as well?
I read the guide to best distro and tried Ubuntu since it was rated #0, anyway could sure use some help please.
Thank you for the help in advance,
Rick
