#ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR IV EXTREME SERIES#
So what does the board support ? The ASUS Crosshair IV Extreme supports the AMD Phenom™ II/Athlon™ II/ Sempron™ 100 Series Processors (AM3 CPU). It has 5 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (dual x16, triple x16 x8 x8) and 1 x PCI 2.2 slot. That definitely helps you to save some costs during upgrading process. With ASUS Crosshair IV Extreme with Lucid Hydra technology, you can now run SLI, CrossFireX and most importantly mix and match AMD and NVIDIA cards and they do no need to be of the same model to speed up your graphical perforamnce. This seems to be limiting as you might have to give up your old card in favour of the higher performance. The limitation is that you have to buy a pair, tri or quad to work. In the past, we see that AMD boards supports CrossFire X or SLI.


Of course, that not only involves the network, it also involves the graphics capability and support of multiple cards.
