Re: video card recommendations for new system

Crossfire is where you use two video cards chained to each other - they will
run the three and also give you serious graphics power for gaming (if you
do)

Hi
I'm building a new desktop system, I'm going to be going for the
latest spec, so i7 and all that but want a recommendation on graphics
cards. I run three monitors off two AGP cards at the moment and want
to continue to be able to run at least 3. The local computer shop was
talking about crossfire but that doesn't mean anything to me.

I don't play games and run Linux mainly through terminals so the only
thing I want graphics power for is password cracking and similar GPU
based activities. What would people recommend?

I don't really know the price of "good" graphics cards but I suppose a
budget of up to £100 (approx $160) per card is about the top of what
I'd like to spend.
