I have another x1950 on the way, but no instructions with it, just wondering how do i get them to crossfire, from the website it shows that i have to do it internally. my mb has 2 slots do i use a cable that connects them still? will post benches after completed. :D

yes, you use two crossfire interconnect cables.
if you have trouble crossfiring them, it's most likely hardware related; at least one of the cards needs to have a "rage theater" chip.

your motherboard manual should have info on it but you just plug both cards into their slots and connect them with power cables needed.

then they have a bridge connector (like a short flat wire strip looking thing) that plugs from one card to the other.

in random murderer picture its those two slots at the top left corner of the card.
