I've been researching parts for a few months now, and i can't for the life of me figure out how to tell (100%) if a motherboard is crossfire compatible.
I've read guides and the ATI web page about cross fire compatible motherboards, but there seem to be only a few there, and several on newegg that are listed as 'Crossfirex compatible'.
I'm currently looking at this motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131404
First off, can someone explain to me what:
"1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16)
1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (@x4 mode, 2.5GT/s)"
means in terms of crossfire? (for say, 2 5770's)
I've seen people mention different types of crossfires (8x8, 16x8, i have no idea) and it's kinda the one bit of knowledge I'm lacking when it comes to computers. Could someone explain or link me to an explanation? (Wikipedia was no help from what i remember)
Thanks for any help ya'll have to offer,
