How to make it faster?

I have never said that, but if it can use two monitors, then I can just plug
my monitor into either card.
 
quote:-"In this type of setting the cards don't have to be identical (as
they won't be connected to each other) and they don't even have to be from
the same graphics chipset manufacturer! NVIDIA-based cards can be used in
conjunction with ATI-based cards, but each card's own multi-monitor
management software will be disabled; instead, Windows XP's own
multi-monitor configuration options need to be used.

This differs from your statement, I am not saying you are wrong, but you are
saying that they are wrong.
 
i don't think it works with PCI E cards. I say this because PCI-E SLI boards
seperate their bandwidth between the two ports. Normally a PCI E port has 16
bus lanes, in SLI 16/2=8 each. a fx 3400, not being a SLI card i don't think
will work. However if you use a PCI card i'm pretty sure you can get it to
work then.
 
I have just brought a system consisting of:-
Amd athlon 64 r 4800 Dual core
Asus A8N SLI motherboard
4Gb ddr400 ram
250Gb Seagate baracuda sata

YES :

for sistem disk:

+4x1GB of cheapest DDR ...
or Samsung 8GB Solid state Flash IDE drive ... (500€)

for data disk:
2xWD Raptors , Raid0 config.
The remaining yours HD for system & data back up & archive ..

this would speed up big time any newer PC, more than dualcore A64 ..
