I'm trying to get an old school x1900 crossfire rig together and need the radeon xpress 3200 drivers for this board. For the life of me I can't find them anywhere. Can somebody help?

I'll start looking as I have all my old Abit driver cd's. I loved Abit. They made great stuff, to bad they went out of business.

I'll be interested to hear your impressions of this rig once you get it up and running. I had a Crossfire rig back in the day based on the Asus A8R-MVP (Radeon Xpress 1600 NB/ULi SB) and two X1800XT's (a master/slave card setup), and it was the absolute bar none worst PC I ever built.

CF was in its infancy, and 'vpu recover' was a (very) common occurrence. To make matters worse NVIDIA had just bought ULI, so driver support for an already spotty south bridge, was almost non-existent.

The whole thing soured me on Crossfire for while, and I didn't even consider it again until I picked up a 3870X2 two years later.

Anyway, be interested to hear how it works out for you.

it's up and running and flying... I've been using it. Just needed a few rogue drivers. Big cpu bottleneck with a 939 3800 X2 oc'ed to 2.6 in oblivion @ 1600x1200. I have to go pick up a dual link dvi cable from my buddy so I can run higher res on my u3011.

Very happy with the rig though. I basically built it so I could have a MaximumXP rig, lol.

Running the following

abit AT8 32x
A64 3800 X2 @2.6 .... so far. Zalman cnp 9200 NVidia edition =P
2x 1gig Corsair Pro series DDR 400 (cool led activity indicators)
X1900 XTX
X1900 Crossfire edition
SoundBlaster Audigy 2zs
so-so ocz gamextreme 700
Antec 900 with enermax case fans

I have a few legacy builds going since I have the cards and parts to do it.

some of the builds-

6800 Ultra agp/x800 xtpe, amd 64 3700+ -XP I swap out cards just to have face off's

q6600, GTX 280/maybe I'll go 285 but I think the fully shrouded 280 looks better-Vista

Still trying to figure out an appropriate barebones for my voodoo 5 5500- win 98

Lastly going to rock my 7800 512's in a rig.

Meanwhile, I surf the forums with my oc'ed 4700k and dual 780 ti's on 4k... lol. Honestly the old stuff is more fun =)

how th eheck did you find that? For the life of me... I looked and looked. Thanks!

Just messing around with google. Been trying to get better using parameters and google searches as I recently was looking for a rare movie and a user here showed me where to find it.
