CrossFireX preview AMD's CrossFireX: Tri & Quad GPU Preview "Looking at four-GPU scaling, as represented by two Radeon HD 3870 X2s in tandem, pushing 3x a single 3870's performance is highly dependent upon the title and resolution.

We've had ours for a few weeks for testing, but we weren't able to do a whole lot with it until we got some later firmware updates.

Hacking Your Xbox 360 Fan "Unable to source a replacement DVD-ROM drive that might run more quietly than the stock product, we settled for replacing the 360's fan with a quieter model—which, as a bonus, glows green. While the DVD-ROM drive will still make our ears ring as we play games that cause it to spin up, toning down the fan noise will help when playing Xbox Live Arcade games or enjoying downloaded or streamed movies or music, which don't trigger the optical drive."
