For more graphical power, Biostar slapped in ATI's Radeon HD 3300, however gamers can take advantage of ATI CrossFire X technology, enabling two or more graphics processors to work together to improve system performance. The TA790GX A3+ supports up to four ATI Radeon HD graphics cards as well, and even enables ATI's Hybrid CrossFireX technology under a Windows Vista environment.

i believe that this part is messed up. enabling two or more graphics processors to work together to improve system performance. The TA790GX A3+ supports up to four ATI Radeon HD graphics cards as well, how can this support 4 graphics cards?!?! i think you mean 4 graphics CORES.

You can put a video card in a PCI-E x1 2.0 slot. I wouldn't recommend it for performance degredation reasons, but you can do it.
 
Let me clarify: If the ends of the slots were open, you could put a video card in a PCI-E x1 2.0 slot. But, I doubt the ends of the slots are open so physically, no you probably couldn't put more than 2 video cards on this board. Sorry computerninja7823
 
hey its cool arson 94...i just wanted to try and clarify things...i doubt anyone would want to put four graphics cards in a setup like that it would be wiser just to wait and see what other companies release down the road

~compninja~
 
well technically speaking other mobos right now have am2+ boards that sometimes support am3 however this board is specifically designed for am3 and is backward compatible with am2 and am2+ so yeah this is the first real am3 board designed to fully take advantage of the new AMD dragon technology.
 
only the new processors have a DDR3 memory controller. The OLDER boards are supposedly compatible with the newer processors as the newer processors have both a DDR2 and DDR3 integrated memory controller within the processor
