    Cross FireX comatibility
    « on: December 27, 2009, 03:20:53 PM »
    Recently I bought a Biostar TA790GX 128M motherboard, just as a substitute for the one that broke. Since it was an old 939 socket board, I had to buy this one with an appropriate AMD CPU. So, only when I started to assamble my box, I figured out that there is no word about using regular videocards in the manual.
    Does anybody know if I can install my regular Chaintech NVidia 512MB PCI-E videocard on it?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm confused.....
    But that part is easy.

    That MBoard supports crossfire so you can run it ...or not run it.
    The board won't care if you run 1 card or 2...

      Hi Patio.
      Thanks for your response. That's what I was actually wondering about. I don't want to use it's 2 card capability. I just want to use my old Vcard using just one of it's slots.
      Since you already took a look at that mboard's specs, could you by any chance help me with front panel audio connections too? I just noticed that I have questions about it too. In it's manual, under "JAUDIOF1: Front Panel Audio Header" section, I found "...AC'97 connector is not acceptable". Where I should connect my front panel speaker and microphone wires?

      There is a DLoad link for the MBoard manual at the manuf. website...
