This may be a daft question and likely as not I'm proving my ignorance here. For the last 6 years I've been a loyal Mac user and have finally decided to turn back to the dark side. I'd like to say it's because Vista looks almost as pretty as MacOS, but really, it's because you have tastier cookies.
Basically a little confused over compatability of boards, memory and RAM. My questions are these:
I'm looking at either an nForce 780i or a 790i. Is the 790i compatable with DDR2 RAM, or only DDR3?
On the Graphics front, if I get an nVidia motherboard (again, let's use the 780i and 790i for this purpose), can I then plug in - for example - 2x HD4870s in Crossfire, or am I restricted to nVidia GPUs?
Thanks in advance!
