AMD 480X CrossFire

[svileni]

I`m thinking of getting a motherboard with the amd 480x chipset, does anyone have it or someone knows somthing about its preformance or stability?

It`s a low budget pc, and was planing to get this board

http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=ALiveXFire-eSATA2&s=AM2

it would be with an amd`s x2 3600 cpu, 1gb of ddr2 (800) and a powercolor x1650Pro,

This is what google returned

looks fairly solid.

i have a 690g board and that performs very well im pretty impressed with it have a look then weigh up the pros and cons

thanks for the find, the review seems good, i also found a possible alternative

but the 480x has the possibility for crossfire so most probably will go with that board, whats your opinion on the other board?

if your looking for a low budget pc then Xfire isnt something you should be interested in. not only does it add to the price of the board but you have to buy two GPU's and a more powerful PSU

the gigabyte board looks ideal for you enjoy it

the asrock board cost less, it is ~65€ and the gigabyte board is ~71€, but was wondering about the level of performance of the n550 vs 480x
