anyone have about 800 bucks to blow? :P

one of only 8 mobos that it will work with,
some spare time to deal with driver issues....
now why did they build this thing? :wacko:


...ASUS has listened to some of the arguments against SLI, and is poised to deliver an answer—the EN7800GT Dual Limited Edition. ASUS's designers built an SLI graphics subsystem on a single board, using two 7800GT GPUs.

The Radeon X1800 XT is more powerful than the 7800 series, but I don't think your pc can dual-wield two X1800 XTs.

Anyway, I'd be happy with just one 7800 GT.

Crossfire is nice, but I would think that TWO GT 7800 will still outperform the X1800 XT w/t Crossfire.

Dammit, if only I could be rich...

i'd feel sorry for the psu molex powering this beast. poor little molex. so much power sucked out of such a small white piece of plastic
