A friend of mine was tossing some old hardware and I've inherited a pair of HD 4850s. Not really knowing what to use them for, I started looking up release dates and it seems these were released just a few months before Windows 7's street date. This got me thinking, why not try to base an XP system off of these cards?
I know that drivers for these were buggy, and that crossfire in general at the time was still kinda crappy, but I'd like to give it a try.
I've got no other period appropriate parts, just the video cards and the crossfire bridge things.
Any suggestions on motherboard/cpu/sound (maybe?) to build around these video cards for a mid-2008 killer XP system?
