What's the use of PCIe x1 slots on a crossfire board?

Thanks renethx. Now that's why I came here to ask the question. You guys know your stuff. :) I was misinformed by newegg's listed specs for the IP35 Pro which only lists FSB as only supporting 800MHz. Thank you for the correction. When I bought the Asus P5K board I assumed they were...

P5E or P5K ?

If you're speaking specifically of the base models of the P5K and P5E, and not any of their many variants, the most glaring difference would be the intel chipset each uses which makes a difference on the front side bus speeds and memory speeds supported, among other things. You can see side by...

ASUS P5K Premium problems

Just an FYI: I'm also running XP SP2 and both x86 and x64 versions of Vista on P5K board. I've got a pair of Mirrored 500GB (SATA2) and a pair of 250GB (SATA1) Seagate drives using the ICH9R Raid controller. The only issue I ran into while installing any of this was when I installed Vista x64...
