|  Re: Gigabyte introduces Mainboard that supports Quad CrossFire based on AMD RD790 chi holy shizzle. But those PCIE slots are close to each other, i dont think the 2900XT will fit in there, four of them. Or will it?

  | Re: Gigabyte introduces Mainboard that supports Quad CrossFire based on AMD RD790 chi It's possible with it's PRO counter part. The 2950PROs are single slotted, and are just as powerful as the 2900XTs. And I believe they're based off the 55nm or 65nm process. But still impractical. |

| Re: Gigabyte introduces Mainboard that supports Quad CrossFire based on AMD RD790 chi How are the overclocking features, I wonder? BTW, this is actually a socket AM2+ board, which means it's made for the Phenom's. though you'll be able to run your regular AM2 chips in it.

| Re: Gigabyte introduces Mainboard that supports Quad CrossFire based on AMD RD790 chi for some reason i think amd's cpu chips are ugly looking, those little pins that get bent ugh. I dont want to deal with it. I like what intel has done with theirs. Its cheaper to replace a mobo than it is to replace a cpu, its a good idea to have the little pins on the mobo. Also the pins on intel mobo's are like bent anyway, they are not standing straight, they are bent sideways, hardly noticeable since they are really small.
