I'm currently getting ready to setup crossfire in my system due to being able to pickup another HD 6950 relatively cheaply. The only issue i have is that the bridge that same with my Sapphire card and the bridge that came with my XFX card are of different lengths. One is about an inch longer than the other one. Will this matter or cauae any issues? I'm doubtful that it will be a problem but figured it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks

No!there are 2 different lengths depending on which motherboard and which slots on those motherboards the cards go,as long as 1 connects,all is good,Another thing is only 1 bridge is needed,unless specifically specified by the card manufacturer.
