my wife's board (The Abit one) is acting up so I am going to replace it. I went to Frys and found Asus M2R32-MVP ATI 580X CF board for real cheap. Brand new board. So thought I might give CF a try.
1. Will this board run 2 x 48xx cards in CF? If so can I use my existing 4850 and buy a cheap 4830 or a 4850.
2. CF is it worth running with my X2 5600 @3.4Ghz? Seems like the board has bios update for Blacky Phenoms. So I might pick up one later if needed.
I was especially looking at the 8750 Black. If I just reach 3 Ghz its plenty for me.
Or just dump this board and get a new SB750 board?
I am not going to spend on all at the same time, but it will be a slow upgrade.
