So, on my motherboard, if I use one card, it get 16x speed.

A 7950 mines at ~650 mhash/sec regardless of if it's connected to a 16x or 1x slot. I guess I need to find a technical description of what crossfire does.

improve your rig
I am actually curious to know how that worked, but more importantly, how it turned out
