Alright, I know this is a dumb question I just wanted some confirmation on it. I' currently looking at a ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 813131339. It talks about the ATI Crossfire support thats for the four video cards right, you can still use any video card (including Nvidia chipsets) as long as it is PCIe 2.0 X16?

Secondly, I know this isn't the right forum, but I didn't want to post twice, what is the big deal on the bigger CPU wattage? I am currently looking at a 140 watt AMD Phenom 9950 BLACK EDITION Agena 2.6GH, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103273, and was just curious if that was good, bad, or indifferent.

Thanks Ahead of time :sol:
