hey

I have some planning about upgrading my computer

as you can see on my sys-specs button the mobo is a ga-ma785gt-ud3h
it do got 2 pci-ex16, but the second one only run at x4 speed.

so i need to buy a new mobo to take advantage of the crossfire setup. and this is the mobo im thinking about.
Gigabyte ga-790fxta-ud5

this is the 5770 i have http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-503.shtml

they don't sell the same one i have anymore for some reason, so this is the only one available where i'm gonna buy the mobo and the 5770

as you can see there is a difference between them.

will it work?
 
If your buying a new MB only because the second PCIE slot is a X4, your making a mistake. you will lose only about 8% with a x4 slot and a 5770.
 
gee. thanks red. now i can buy some hdd's instead along with the 5770,

eehm, what about the the difference between the 5770's? does that have any affect?
 
Nope, you can CF cards from diff manufacturers even. those two will work great together.
 
red, chef,

thanks for the heads up guys.
you're saved me allot of time and money:)

thanks again.:D
