Hi all,
I am considering an upgrade to my PC and although I know a bit about it I've lost touch with recent techological developments.
I am considering the following:
Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe Crossfire Mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3700
2 x ATI x1600 Pro (Crossfire supported)
1Gb (2x512Mb) PC3200 RAM
Questions:
Is this the correct memory for the mobo and CPU?
Do I have to use ATI cards for Crossfire? What's the benefits of Crossfire over Sli?
My budget is around £600 - £650 for this, am I better off getting a new base unit of similar spec and does any know where I'd get such a beast?
I'll be using the PC primarily for 3d games and the above component list is NOT set in stone, therefore I would welcome any suggestions or recommendations on the above.
Thanks in advance,
