Re: ATI or Nvidia

Thanks for the post. I thought as much with regards to ATI and nvidia
cards. I don't think that I'd ever use cross fire or sli so it's a no
brainer. One quick question maybe some one can answer for me. I like the
compiz-fusion effects on my desktop but miss being able to spread the
desktop across two screens.will either cross fire or sli allow me hook up
both screens. Or will a board that allows two graphic cards allow for
independent desktop
.
