Native quad core means a single piece of silicon containing 4 cores. Connectivity between the cores has nothing to do with if it is a native quad core cpu (Both companies will do it differently). So multiple chips in one package or multiple packages on a motherboard is not native. That means...

In the bios of some motherboards there is an option to turn off dual core/hyper-threading. If the bios of the system has the option you can try that.

The issue you described can occur just by adding an X-FI card. It does not affect any games just 3dmark. So it is not really a big deal unless you benchmark a bunch. Your "fix" has me wondering. I will pass that information on to ATI.

My 6.10 beta is not the one from the ATI website. But they are of the same driver set so they should work fine. :)

I get early sample ATI cards (for testing) so I have had X1950 XTX CF for some time. There is no known issue with 6.9 and CF. They need to look for some other trouble. One issue I have found is 3Dmark05 and 06 benching strange on some boards with an XFI card installed. I have had this trouble on...

Space to me is going to be a major issue. Some people had mentioned E-ATX as a solution but it is not. E-ATX does not make the board "taller" for more slot room but "wider" so that the motherboard has room for things like a 2nd CPU or additional ram slots. (AKA a server board.) So a totally new...

That was the one I used. Not the betas.

I have tested the XFX 7950 GX2 on the A8N-SLI (not DX) and it worked fine. The board had the latest bios installed no issues. You should be good to go. ;)

Sometimes failures can take time to occur. I had a customer’s system with a pair of 7800 GTs in it. We had tested the hardware for 24 hrs...no problems. We watercooled the cards and built the system. It ran fine for a week while we installed the OS, Updated, OC'd and burned the system in. We had...

We are looking for a little help on our site so I will keep that in mind. I will help for nothing as I just want your system to run right. :) On the systems I have built we have added no additonal drivers for the FX-60. (We are looking at the dual core optimizer.) Your temps are real good...

Again I vote change the PSU and retest. Just to give a little proof I have worked with CF and are not just guessing. 2nd company down is mine. ;) http://www.ati.com/technology/crossfire/builttoorder.html Ohh and don't return everything and rebuy.... but if a full refund on the CPU, MB...

This is true. I have heard that there is going to be a Hotfix until the next Cat drive is released. Don't regret it. Once you get your bugs ironed out it will rock.

I have a ton of experience with CF (and SLI for that matter.) The flickering and the red LEDs on the cards flickering more specifically leads me to believe there is a problem with the PSU. The red LEDs on the card only light up when the cards are not getting power from the AUX PCI-E connection...
