I run 2x 4890's on the Asus P6T deluxe with a physX PPU in the spare PCI-E slot above the #1 16x's slot and a wireless PCI card below it - between the graphics cards. Granted it's not a big PCI card but the crossfire cable wouldn't get in the way unless the card had jumpers or headers in that...

Corsair TR3X3G1600C8D 3GB (3x1GB) DDR3 : PC-12800 (1600MHz) DDR3 For X58 MB/i7 Core, 3x240-pin DIMMs, Triple Kit, 8-8-8-24, 1.65V. 1600MHz for the P6T is classed as overclock, the ram above would clock a little further by changing the Blck but not as far as 1866Mhz. It gives you tri channel...

I got 12GB because the G.Skill was on special, i read a few benchmark reviews and decided it was good enough compared to the bigger brands. I don't sit there running benchmark after benchmark to tell you the difference if i pull 6GB out. With the similar spec to the dominator i got twice as much...

It's alright, i've mentioned i haven't tried to clock it much but i'm looking for a suitable CPU cooler atm. It's got a few cool things like a built in SSD with a simple asus operating system to check emails and stuff with a 5 second boot time - I don't use it because i doesn't recognize my wifi...

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Pro...ew.aspx?ProductID=2957 GA-EX58 Extreme, better cooling options for the chipset than a UD5 i think. That is more the equivalent to the Asus Ramage II extreme. I would say invest in that board rather than the UD5 on your new system just for the fact that X58's...

The EVGA SLi Classified and the Asus Rampage II aren't standard ATX form, 12x10.6 inch both are 1 inch over size. Good for a big tower Intel DX58SO's are over priced for the memory and expansion cards they can't fit Gigabyte GA-EX58 Extreme is probably the best without going stupid on price

My Sapphire 4890 (not vapor x) has a 6 and an 8 pin, i've run it with 2 x 6 pin connectors before on a 400W when they suggest 500W minimum

Asus P6T V2 is a nice board. I haven't tried to clock mine too much yet but i can tell you the slot layout would no be quite as good as the GA-EX58 I fit 2 x double slot GPU's, PCI wireless card and a PCI-E x 1 Physx PPU with no room for anything else (if you need much else), the last PCI-E x 8...

New guy to the forums here but i thought i might post to clarify something Geforce Physx is disabled with there is an ATI card present. Ageia Physx (for those with the PPU) is still active. http://s873.photobucket.com/al...view&current=physx.jpg (8.09.04 physx drivers)...
