I see several motherboards out there with 2, 3, 4, and even 5 PCI 2.0 slots on them. EG.,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131667but I've never even heard of crossfire or sli working with five (5) cards.
How does this work with bitcoin mining, particularly under Linux. Can I just insert five cards and have the OS do the rest? Or do I need to somehow cable all the cards together (my last time with crossfire I had to connect the two cards with a special cable)?
Thanks,
N
