Why would you want two graphics cards? Smile

Cheers, Slipstreem. Cool

System specs: "Phoenix" - Intel C2D E4500 overclocked to 3GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (modded BIOS rev 3.10A and VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 RAM (3.0,3,3,8,1T @546MHz), Sapphire ATI HD3870 512MB GDDR4 PCIe graphics card overclocked to 850MHz GPU & 2.4GHz RAM running Omega drivers. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget. Satisfied

I think two'd fit, but whether you can connect two is a different matter. I don't think there are any SLi/CrossFire mATX motherboards.

Not like SLi/CrossFire is worth considering, anyways Smile

The case is SLI/Crossfire compatible but one good card or a ATI X2 is the way to go. Smile

Yes your probably right, but its nice to have the option of popping another card in if/when prices come down.

Two ATI X2's would make and awesome folding rig with a Quad...Although the handbag would more than likely melt. BigGrin
