Crossfire & SLI

[Malux]

This may be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Please know i researched this a bit before asking.

I know SLI and Crossfire are similar but different. That said, here's what I 'm not sure about:
1. Do motherboards that support SLI also support cross fire?
2. If I buy a PSU that says "supports SLI" will that also work with Crossfire cards from ati?

Thanks,
Lux

1. No. To the best of my knowledge, only the x58 chipset for Intel's lga1336 can handle both SLI and crossfire.

2. As long as it has enough PCI-e Power connectors and enough power to run both cards it won't matter.


edit: Five minutes, now wasn't that a snappy reply?

Ahh, red bull is poison, go with sobe.

And the tongue can be faster than the fingers.

A ton of coffee and several red bulls after being awake for like 30+ hours = trippy O_O seriously .
And what is sobe ?
And lol at that second sentence .

Why do you do that to yourself dude?

Sobe is an energy drink that's not carbonated. Tastes much better than the syrupy stuff.

Wimps; everyone knows to really stay awake you need a direct injection caffine IV :)

'Cause I hoped to get my cicardian rhythm in order with that ( at this point I cannot fall asleep before 4-6 AM and I wake up at 2-4 PM ) , but it didn't help... I just slept for nearly 16 hours , and woke up at 4 PM .

I used to do shift-work for a lab out in the middle of no-where for a few years.

We were on 12hour shifts and would always start our block by doing a few night shifts. We'd come home at 7am after the last night shift and be given 24hours to change our sleeping pattern as we'd have to be back at work by 7am the next day...

My advice? Stay up all night, go to bed at 8am and wake up at 11am. Do not let yourself go back to sleep, as tempting as it is.

Then, keep as busy as you can during the day, and head to bed at about 9pm... Don't go to bed too early that night, I did that a few times and was up by midnight-1am a few times - could never get back to sleep.

Anyway, that's what I used to do, and it does work. It's just horrible!!!
