It's a crossfire board there fore it's ATI (AMD).
And you bought this without knowing any of the specs?????
All motherboards (AFAIK) will support 1 of ANY video card.
If you have a motherboard that supports 2 video cards and even remotely plan to use the feature, you should probably select the one that the motherboard supports, hence my recommendation. (which I now see was somewhat poorly worded.)
The Biostar site has the latest information on CPU and memory support. I would suggest that you check there to make sure that your components are compatible.
Not to be harsh, but your project seems a little poorly thought out. A "good" price isn't really a good price if the components don't match well.
It was poor judgement & lack of thought.
Did a bit of research on the Motherboard & found that everythings compatible, ie DDR2800 ram, Quad Core support etc etc & it seems this is a pretty good motherboard.
Just a pity i got a Nvidia card & not a good ATI instead.
At least its a big step up from my current system:
Any idea of an ATI card thats better than the Nvidia one i just bought & around the same price.
Just sold my PS3 so im getting back into the PC scene.
EDIT = I havent bought the Q6600 either.
Do you think its a good choice ?
I heard it was a good performer & a great overclocker, although i wont be overclocking it much anyway.
Ok, just purchased this card 9800GT on ebay for £65 including P&P.
I know i wont get SLI on the motherboard, but that doesnt matter as i'll get a better motherboard when the money situation improves & maybe another 9800GT.
Id rather stick with Nvidia anyway, had a couple of dodgy cards off them.
Ill have to ebay the Shuttle to get funds for the Q8400 & a decent power supply.
Any idea how much i should ask for the Shuttle ?
I just ordered 2GB Geil DDR400 for it as i was going to keep it & its a great little system, but could do with the extra cash.
