i have 2 mobos and not sure which way to go , i am wondering if i should get a second hd3870 to run in the Asrock ALiveXFire-eSATA2 R3.0 (crossfire) . but i have a nvidia 550 chipset mobo spare , would a 8800gts 512 using this mobo (Gigabyte GA-M55S-S3) be better than a crossfire setup using the asrock mobo ?
rest of system specs below :
700w psu
athlon x2 6000+
2 gb corsair xms2 6400
win xp pro sp2
coolermaster cm690 case
yuraku 22" tft @1680x1050

Well a single 3870 is faster than a 640Mb 8800GTS. Unless the 512 GTS is significantly faster then I would buy a 2nd 3870 and let them run.
