Ebay. the guy forgot to put both in the box. he took the cpu bracket off because he was watercooling. He's sending me the bracket.
 
You got that board for a great price,is he also sending you the I/Q shield?...id hate not to have one on mine :P
 
I know it's x8/x8 in Xfire, only the 790FX and 890FX boards can do x16/x16

x8 doesn't cut into the performance of a 5770 though. I only lost 300 points in vantage score with x8 with my super overclocked gtx460 1gb.

Awesome! :D

Its a shame the 630 and 635 only have 2mb L2 cache and no L3 cache :cool:,But for the price i dont think its a bad deal...its still a Quad core :)
 
Nice Linky,Whats the diffrences you have noticed already going from your Dual Pentium?

i remember going from my C2D E6300 to the Q6600 it was a huge improvement.
 
Windows boost up faster, especially after a reformat. I'm just going about installing software. that will probably occupy my entire night :P
