site:tomshardware com is my hp pavillion crossfire compatible
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hello,
I am in the market for a new computer and I want to get something that will give me the best bang for my buck and will last me. I would like to get something from best buy so I can get 18 months same as cash. My current plan is to get this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Desktop+with+...
and buy a new power supply and video card. My biggest concern is that the mobo isn't crossfire compatible, which isn't a problem now, but I will probably want another video card in a couple of years (I'm gonna go with the radeon 5770)
Right now I pretty much just play wow, and I'll play diablo 3 when it comes out and probably the next Battlefield that comes out, and I want max settings with good FPS.
If anyone knows if this is crossfire compatible or could suggest a better route please feel free to tell me![:)]( ":)")
Sorry for tldr![:)]( ":)")

Since BestBuy links won't work after a bit I listed your system specs for others.
Pavilion Desktop with AMD Phenom II 820 Quad 8GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 9100 graphic
Model: P6404y / BestBuy SKU: 9840522
BestBuy spec sheet shows Available Expansion Slots as 1 PCI, 1 PCI E x1, 1 PCI E x16, 1 mini cord (should be mini-card, not cord)
Which agrees with the HP website product specs a single PCI-E x16 video card slot.
Crossfire is not an option for that model's motherboard.
