Made a right balls up.

I just got my new Core 2 Duo 6700, 2 GB OCZ PC2-7200 and 4 x WD 500 GB SATA2 disks. Thats all grand. I got 2 x Sapphire X1950XTX crossfire ready cards - I didnt realise you needed a GOD DAMNED cf edition card and a ready one! ARGH!!! And I turfed the boxes out.

WHAT an IDIOT !!

ill have them both off you for 20p

Might sell them and get one of these new 8800 jobs

On the plus side - by f*ck the Core 2 Duo is a fast chip - I had my old D805 running at 3.8 GHz and it is a LOT faster !!

Shame youll have to upgrade the cards again real soon to get DX10

Am gonna wait until the next batch of DX10 cards then go for it - the 8800 isnt significantly faster (Enough to warrant shelling out again) for me.

thought the 1950 series started using the internal crossfire connectors???  :shock:

apparently not the X1950XTX!
