Also, you sure you can't find a retail FX-55 for cheaper? The difference between OEM and retail shouldn't be more then $100. Well if you can't, then just go for the OEM FX-55 and an XP-120, or for a more silent solution, the Zalman 7700 CU or AlCu. Though from reviews I've seen, the stock FX-55 heatsink works just as good ocasionaly better, then even those top of the class heatsinks. ------------------------- AMD64 3500+ Newcastle Asus A8V Deluxe 2x512mb DDR400 ATI X850 Pro @ X850 XT NEC 3500 16x DVD 470W Enermax Noisetaker Viewsonic VP171b 17" 8ms LCD

I presume it does, as it says it has 2xPCI-e 16x slots, which is a little weird to me because an SLI board usually comes with 2xPCI-e 8x slots, but anyway, that answers your question. I am against SLI, and I recommend a single x850XT for 450 bucks btw, here's a link to the mobo http://www.newegg.com/app/View...esc....-136-152&depa=0' ">http://www.newegg.com/app/View...tion=13-136-152&depa=0

Anyone with info on AMR? No. Two ATI video cards can not be used in SLI. However you can use 1 Nvidia gfx card and 1 ATI gfx card on SLI mobos, but they won't work together. AMR = ATI Multi Rendering. Its ATI's answer to SLI. ------------------------- The opinions expressed above do not represent those of AMD, OCZ, or ATI "bv, if Mormons were real, you'd be one" - SDA
