[uhxto]

hey guys
can any one recommend a good gaming motherboard that supports crossfireX, it doesnt matter if it has just 2 slots and not 3...
i just want to put 2 graphic cards that are not identical !
and does the rampage formula supports 2 ati cards in crossfire that are NOT identical ?


i have intel q9450
and hd3870x2
and waiting to for the hd 4870x2


thanks

Budget? Overclocking?

well it doesnt really matter... im ready to pay up to 340$... and im kind of a beginner in the OC....
but as i said i want good stable one that supports 2 (or 3 ) ati cards that are not identical in crossfire config.

i like the asus rampage formula, but i think it only supports 2 identical ati cards
i also saw the intel DX48Bt2
is it good ?

I have that mobo ( look at my sig ) it supports 2 ATI cards in Cross Fire and it has 2 PCI express 2.0 slots each one X16 and also waiting for 4870
As far as I know the cards may be different but I think should be from the same family like one 3870 and 3850
I'll leave confirmation to the experts

if you plan to use two different cards, if its the same as sli, it will lower itself to the lowest card. So it will all be operating at the same speed but of the slowest card.

and what about the intel DX48Bt2 ? compared to the asus rampage formula...
