Nope, no crossfire, no dummy plugs, just plug and go.

People have had good results with either. If you're building a GPU mining rig you should definitely check out BAMT. It's a linux system on a USB stick, with drivers, miners and perl scripts all ready to go. Just write the image to the stick, plug it in, and edit two configuration files. I use it and am very happy with it. Check out the Project Development subforum as there's an ongoing thread there, to which the author regularly posts. |
If I've said anything amusing and/or informative and you're feeling generous:

Has BAMT matured since October? I tried it then and found it to be incredibly unstable with CGMiner. |

It doesnt make a big enough difference unless you are planing on setting up a full mining farm running 24/7

Use Win7 if you use it as your daily/gaming rig and BAMT if you have a spare USB and want the extra speed from a mining only OS.
