Its a Nvidia SLi board, so can't do Crossfire on that im afraid.

For future reference, you can buy bridges on eBay.

Going for a X1950pro crossfire setup isn't worth it in 2009 anyway. As a single card though it's a good improvement over the 7600GT and it's aged better in newer games.

The x1950pro is better. The 8600GT was a bit of a dissapointment at the time.
