Hi all,
I'm thinking about upgrading my computer to a Crossfire system, but have a number of questions that I'd like an answer to before I go ahead. I've done my own research but everything seems a bit complicated so I'd rather ask for advice here.
Firstly, does a crossfire set-up of two 512MB 4850's outperform a single 1GB 4870 in modern games? I appreciate not all games support crossfire, but am I right in thinking that mostly newly-released titles do?
Will Windows 7 support Crossfire, and does Windows XP currently support it?
Finally, what would be a good motherboard of around 100 to 150 £ that supports crossfire? I currently run an e2180 at 3GHZ and I'd like to be able to obtain that clock on the new motherboard.
Thanks for your help, and sorry for the wall of text.
