Best single slot cards for CrossFire setup in a Vostro-460
Anything out there better than the PowerColor AX6850 1GBD5-I2DH single slot cards.Im getting ready to order a couple for a crossfire setup for my Vostro-460 and those are about the best single slot cards i can find.

You do realize that the Vostro 460 only has one PCI-E x16 slot right? The other slots are PCI-E x1.

Got it, you're using a different motherboard. Good luck.

Thanks after getting a few parts in today two double slot cards will fit but the bottom card is to bulky to fit in the bottom 8x slot.From what i have read for the most part you loose 5%-10% running the second card in the 4x slot.So i may just go with two higher performing double slot cards.

wow that looks cool as hell.. do you have any issues with heat on your crossfired cards? I just got a GTX 560-ti 448 myself, and my computer is getting REALLY freakin hot after a couple hours.
also how do you get the front panel off? I want to mess around with adding an intake fan to help with cooling -- http://i.imgur.com/zvI3C.jpg
great work on your upgrades, looks real beefy!
