Buying a second HD4870

That's what I though would be a prob, 512Mb. Is there a low footprint monitoring prog I can use to watch VRAM load whilst gaming on my GPU? I'm running XP for games.

MSI Afterburner can display that at a corner of your choice on screen during gaming. I use it to display GPU temp, GPU usage, Memory usage at top left corner of the screen and is not intrusive at all.

Thanks, sounds top, is it manufacturer agnostic? I can't even remember which manufacturer mine is.

No. any card can use MSI Afterburner. People mainly use it for overclocking their graphic card, but it is also useful for display details that I mentioned.

After you installed MSI Afterburner:
Go Settings>Monitoring>Under "Active hardware monitoring graphs" Select what you want to display>check the "Show in On-Screen Display" box and then press ok, then you are done.
 
Got my second 4870 today, but now im wondering, do i need the second crossfire link in or would the one link be fine. New card, as its a A-Grade card, didnt come with link.
