sishh i know that way before u and he did.
infact i tried it before he did.. with a 8800 ultra and hd2600XT..

i am talking about 9800gx2..
sishh
on 3870 crossfire u cannot do dual monitor on crossfire
on reference 3870x2 u cannot do dual monitor on crossfire
on any 8800gt/gtx/ultra/gts on sli u cannot do dual monitor

but...
on asus hd3870x2 with both gpu enabled in CC and on Crossfire  u can do dual monitor.
so thats y i was hoping the 9800GX2 was possible..

sishh.

just back from LYP...was hunting for my 1st ever gaming keyboard 

, you get the new G15...

MY new PSP... 2nd hand maaa...

oit...bought so many new items recently..may i borrow a bit....

Chill, not saying that you don't know. Just stating it out.

Could it be still driver issue for 9800GX2, or technically unable to do so at all?

for me its new la bcoz when 1st i got it... its like new... no scratch or anything... like fresh from box...

ah no its not a driver issue
my bad
just not happy with the 9800gx2
yeah gaming is fantastic
but this small things u know .. which made me love that asus hd3870x2 top
sishh damn dfi.

1. PCIe 1.1 Cards in PCIe Slots off the MCH Lead to Boot Failures

Problem: The Intel X48 Express Chipset sets the TS1 Ordered Set - Symbol 4 Bit[6] to 1b when a
PCIe 1.1 card is plugged in. This is a reserved bit which is used in PCIe 2.0 to broadcast
support for selectable de-emphasis. PCIe 1.1 Specification states that Bit[6] should be
set to 0b. With some 2.5 GT/s PCIe 1.1 I/O cards of widths x8/x4/x1, system restarts
and hangs were exhibited during PCIe link initialization when populated in MCH slots.

Implication: System unable to train some 2.5 GT/s PCIe 1.1 cards that don't comply with the PCIe
1.1 Specification. Failures have occurred across multiple vendors and different types of
PCIe 1.1 cards.

Workaround: See latest Bearlake Chipset BIOS Specification (Revision 2.1 or later) for more
information. Modification to the Link Stability/Recovery Algorithm will fix this issue
when using non-compliant cards but customers should continue working with their card
vendors for PCIe 1.1 Spec compliancy.

Status: For affected steppings, see the Summary Table of Changes.

for me its new la bcoz when 1st i got it... its like new... no scratch or anything... like fresh from box...

i read that there is an errata on x48 that points out compatibility issues with non compliant pcie 1.1 and also provide workaround .. perhaps dfi has yet provide a bios update to it..
http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/31912301.pdf

it applies to some cards only
reference hd3870x2 has no issue with foxconn p35 mars and dfi x38/x48

only this damn card
and dude this nothing to do with the x48/x38 chipeset
its a problem with their compatibility mode thingy ..

its a bios issue..

its a 2nd hand..but its new..    ehe~..

anyway..just bought this from a forumer~
oso a 2nd hand item~


this i bought for me and my friend a loong time ago..about 3-4 weeks

nice pad, but I personally dun like the armrest.
woot, the desk remind me of my first year life in the USM campus. 
where i can hear msn message alarm, CS shooting 'fire in da hole', dota around the room.
