However, do some digging around and make sure that your mobo will work completely with this card because it seems that there are technical issues with it cooperating with certain brands, BIOS, and motherboards. I dug around, and for my setup I had to order a mobo with a 790fx chipset which was primarily designed for ATI radeon GPU's. However, maybe you'll have more luck with intel it's all about compatibility here. Other than that your specs look good for running 2 of these cards. On the box it recommends having 750 W for dual 3870x2's so you're fine in the psu area. Also these cards take up 2 slots (the one below the PCIx16 slot) so make sure you have room. You'll have one hell of a gaming rig btw

Lol thanks man, i tryed to make an extreme gaming system so i won't have to worry about upgrade for next 10 years.

On the Mobo box it says its Crossfire compatible, and P35 is fairly new so i would assume it would be compatible, the Mobo has 2 PCI-E X16 slots, its made for crossfire. The case has plenty of room, so as long as its compatible which i have a feeling it will be, Gigabyte and Intel are good about that. I shouldn't have any problems, just wanted to double check, your post scared the hell out of me


This comp is a major upgrade compared to my current rig, Playing Warhammer online is a pain right now.

CPU: P4 2.2Ghz (overclock 3.2Ghz) (Zalman cooler)
Mobo: Gigabyte P4 Titan
RAM: 2gig G-Skill 800mhz
HDD: WD 250gig SATA
Drive: Sony Dvd burner
OS: XP
VC: Geforce 6600 (Zalman cooler)
PSU: 550watt, don't remember the make.

Oh i forgot to add i'm going with Windows XP 64-bit on the new rig, you know any complications from the card in 64-bit?
