Its using a new chipset, you can use some new ATi features on it. Like 2(CF)+ 1(PPU) and 1+1 (CF). Check ATi/AMD site... Has 3x x16 on it. http://ati.amd.com/technology/crossfire/physics/index.html

I bought my rig a year ago Firstly it was meant to be gaming machine for BF2 and FEAR,etc... But I hardly do play games anymore ASUS A8N -SLI DELUXE AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4Ghz 1GB DDR Buffalo firestix MAXTOR Diamondmax 10 300GB 16MB cache ATI Radeon X850XT Logitech MX518 Logitech G15 Samsung SyncMaster 930BF

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400 (2.13GHz,1066FSB) with 2MB cache 2GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz Dell USB KEYBOARD Dell Optical USB Mouse 19 in (19 in viewable) 1907FPCFlat Panel Display Ati Radeon X1650 512 mb 250GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM) Dell 13 in 1 Media Card Reader Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Alot of other stuff, i ordered it like 4 weeks ago (xmas) it's really good =)
GFX card is so-so(atleast for the cost ATis x1600 series is a joke) and the CPU is only 2.13GHz and that won't be changing. most Core 2 dups are able to run at 3-3.8GHz http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/x1650pro/index6.php you got ripped. and to darkstar, DFI makes fairly good motherbaords, they're certainely solid and the BIOSes on them are updated a fair amount and seem rather good on the whole.The DFI infinity 975X/G was going for liek 130USD for a while. Those motherbaords(I have on) can hit to around 430-440FSB without mods on stock cooling. With mods and some better cooling, 450 is possible. And that's on a 1066mhz strap. the second revision of the board when released will have a 1333mhz strap which means that 500-550mhz isn't unreasonable. only bad thing is that the boards up to 160 now... as for RD600, it's apparently overhyped and underdelviered BUT IT STILL KICKS ASS. The end. Also, 975X chipsets can deliver 2x PCI-e 8x and 1 PCI-e 4X too FYI, my infinity does at the least albiet the 4x is only 4x physical.
