So I could run an 8800 GTS 512,2600XT,and 7300GT all at once? How much does this cost? Probably out the ass

Hell,if I could stick in those three graphics cards,I could roughly get just below 8800 GT SLI...and no micro-stutter? How's the micro-stutter?

Why not just buy a HD-4850?

What am I missing here - is that for recycling old cards? Another green solution? And who's going to supply all these cards? And it says "vendors" can include this.

This seems like maybe spintels idea of innovation thru partners. Too bad they have no grafx.

I am missing something maybe, but this seems like esoteric futility.

Clue me in? Makes no sense.

Why? Why not put all my older graphics cards,which,btw,are not crossfire/SLI compatible,and equal that,without having to buy anything.Sounds good to me,I don't know why you can't see it.Also,what if someone were to get a 4870 and 280GTX together,and compare it to the 4870X2 and the 280GTX SLI? I bet the first would win.
