why don't you go for 5970's instead? similar hash rate and less power consumption.

Hi, these are the slots you should be interested in:

3x PCI-Express 2.0 x16, ignore the x8 and the othe PCI slots.

It basically means you can have up to 3 graphics cards connected to your Motherboard. Your new graphics card will be compatible with any motherboard as long as these PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots are present.

Keep in mind you will also need a high quality power supply for your computer (750W or more), since these high-end cards require:
1. To be connected to motherboard
2. Have 2 "PCI-E Cables" connected from the Power Supply to your card.

Good luck!
Thanks for replying.

But are you sure the "Gigabyte Radeon HD 6990 4GB" Graphics Card slot is: PCI-Express 2.0 x16 ??
Because i've seen on ebay
( http://cgi.ebay.com/Gigabyte-Radeon-HD-6990-PCIE-4GB-DDR5-Bitcoin-Ready-/270767571412?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3f0b0141d4#ht_1392wt_1138 )
something about "Host Interface:   PCI Express 2.1 x16"..... so? which is right?

I'm looking to buy an "Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6990 (GV-R699D5-4GD-B) 4096MB PCIe x16 Gen 2.1 Eyefinity 6 Edition"
and i can't find anywhere to buy from (OUT OF STOCK).
Perhaps I should go and buy the ATI Radeon HD 5970? Would that give me the same (+/-) Mhash/sec?

I'm new to builing a computer - DIY and I was wondering if an "ASUS Socket AM3/AMD 890FX/CrossFireX/SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0/A and GbE/ATX Motherboard Crosshair IV Formula" motherboard is compatible for the 6990 graphic card (I don't really understand the differences between PCI-Express 2.1 x16 And PCI--Express 2.0....etc.).
http://www.amazon.com/CrossFireX-Motherboard-Crosshair-IV-Formula/dp/B003G40Z66/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1308690889&sr=1-7

tell me what you think? If not compatible so please refer me to any other motherboard that you recommand (for x3 6990's graphic cards crossfire).

thanks
