I want to buy the new Sapphire PURE RD580 CrossFire board so i looked over overclockers and their is two types the:

Sapphire PURE RD580 CrossFire Advantage (PC-A9RD580Adv) £84.95 (£99.82)

Sapphire PURE RD580 CrossFire (PC-A9RD580) £139.95 (£164.44)

When looking at the specs they are almost identical apart from the cheaper board has 2 x PCI-E Slots and the more expensive one have only one PciE slot and comes with Onboard 10/100 LAN and Onboard Firewire IEEE1394 thats it. For a £65 price difference i cannot work out what the what it offers over the cheaper board if anything the cheaper board is more ideal having the two PCIE slots...Maybe the £165 board has more overclocking potnetial...can someone please explain to me why and what it offers of the cheaper board, thanks Az

Too Far from a good woman
The more expensive one is white !!! :rolleyes: With the original saphire boards the more exensive one was supposed to be a better overclocker due to less components, (no idea if it was true).
As for the new ones similair spec and the cheaper one has more connectors plus legacy printer port on mobo.

Tis a strange one.
