ya i dont want clones. the guy is lokoing at wide ass spread sheets... he goes 'im not satisfied with one monitor' lol like he was saying hes not satisfied with1 meal a day or something... i dunno hes def loaded tho...
so ya i know each card will display 2 monitors in clone or sidebyside but...
anyways haha back to MY question haha...
the guy im building this comp for is a chairman and CEO of a big stock & mutual funds company in boston. money is NO OBJECT.
im thinking independent PCIe x700's on a SLI board.. so jus for confirmation.. it IS possible to run 2 pcie ATI's...
my friend has a 4000+ and he says its running at 100+°C (im not totally sure that HEs sure hes reading the temp in F or C) but ya 100+°C and hes cooling it with a Thermaltake Silent Tower (with 1 fan attatched) furthermore his alluminum case has 5 80mm fans in addition to 1 120mm fan blowing...
Correct me if im wrong, but if i had an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe, and plugged up 2 normal PCIE-X800's to it, the SLI wouldnt work correctly right? i would need to use 2 GFU6800's with an SLI bridge correct?
From the time the "welcome" screen comes up to the time the start menu appears is atleast 2 minutes... i have everything shut off in msconfig... windows firewall disabled... whats takin so long?!

i was lucky because like a couple hours later they jacked the price up by more than $100... but i did recieve it overnight and It felt cool to be one of the first people to have the card....
how much u pay?
