may sound a bit newbish but...

hello, i am about to upgrade my pc again, and i have been looking at the new radeons, and i think i want to crossfire a couple. now, i want no OMG! RADEON? GO GET NVIDIA GO! no. i want people to stick to htepoint, as i need advice. so, here it is.

 1.- what does anti-aliasing do?

2.- do you need a crossfire ready mobo/parts for crossfiring.

3.- do you need some special connector inside mobo/case, and, if so, can say, a sound card be inbetween cards.

4.- lastly, can a physx card be used with the radeon cards? big one because i really want to have one for the compatible games, and to ease some stress from my pc.

thanks, and no fanboy posts, i want help, not crap.

well, thank you, but, i have reason to disagree with the pointless sli. for one, why? then, why is crossfire worse than sli? finally, what about the special connector for sli/crossfire. do you need one, and, if so, can a sound card be in the middle of them.snipercomplete

well, i just figured out intel mobos wont work with crossfire, so i will just stick with 8800 ultras, but im getting a asus stryker mobo, and it has this order of slots, e=express i= pci a=agp

how is that not true? i have been working hard securing bussiness and private computers, as well as building othe ppls computers, and listening to f**king bull sh** from morons, yah, one actually didnt know you had to pusha a button to turn on the computer. and, i just decided to get myself a nice treat, and get myself a couple of 8800's, so when do digital animation, and mess with cad for fun, i can do it quickly. also i like running games at any resolution/best settings. and it is not impossible.

and i think it would be a good use of money, last a long time. but, i thank you for the help, dont want to sound mean or ungracious.

well, that just reinforced my want of sli, i am getting the dell 30 inch ultrasharp widescreen.snipercomplete

No no me first, you can go play iwth him, I'll look for his wallet. Also 8800's arn't very good with CAD and animation if you wnat that get a x2900xt their vertex shader power is unmatched. its over 200% stronger than an 8800gtx.

Intel mobos with 2 pci-e connectors support crossfire but not sli.
