is this an outdated gaming system overall?

i dont think crossfire will ever beat sli but thats only my opinion might be wrong but
id like 2* 7800gtx 512's in sli on the new dfi mobo

Dunno. That new DFI mobo has a few shortcomings. Probably the biggest one being that a 7800GTX doesn't fit...

Ay? Where it say that??? Link??

Yeah, I used to live in London but I live Stateside now.

I've seen dual 78gtx's on the ultra-d...

And the SLi-D can certainly fit 2 x 7800GTX's 512mb's on it

The DFI Expert has loads of room between the two boards in SLi so I don't know where that info has come from Out of the blue??

Review was on a link in another thread, overclock something or other. Said that long cards like the GTX touched the chipset fan (which it also claimed wasn't too good in itself - and replacement solution would generally be larger).

[kempez]

My GTX touches the chipset fan cover. Not a problem though at all. Fans pretty good actually. Check the AnandTech review for a nice full.....um....review

Thats a great sytem but there is nothing you can but that wont be dated in two months in PC land although it will be a good while before you have to screw your game settings down from max with that set up
