Okay...
I expected something from that, even if it was ridicule. I noticed that
of the MoBo's that come with PCI-E slots, many have two 16x slots.
Might I be better off to get one of these with two, lower powered PCI-E
cards? I understand that it's not difficult to configure a dual-head
card (although I haven't ever done it), but how does it complicate
things to do two cards? See, this is why I didn't buy anything before
doing my homework.
