http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130017 and this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130283 Aside from the CO in the name I cannot see any difference. Secondly, I read in some review on newegg.com that even if your mobo isn't SLI, you can run a mock-SLI if you have both a PCIe and PCI card plugged in. Is this true? EDIT: Okay, I lied.. one more question. Is SATA3 backwards compatible with a SATA 1.5 mobo? Thanks This post has been edited by TheEmuRider: Jul 11 2006, 04:20 PM |

I just went thru the entire tech sheet on newegg.com and I can't find a difference either... but the first one is 5$ cheaper so I don't think that the CO is a big thing performance wise... Might just be some kind of connector or something...
I don't think it's all that important. -------------------- "A kiss is just a kiss until you find the one you love. A hug is just a hug until you find the one your always thinking of. A dream is just a dream until it comes true. Love is just a word until its proven to you."

QUOTE Aside from the CO in the name I cannot see any difference. "CO" is the designation for "Copper Heatsink".  QUOTE Is SATA3 backwards compatible with a SATA 1.5 mobo Except for a few older via chipsets, yes. QUOTE I read in some review on newegg.com that even if your mobo isn't SLI, you can run a mock-SLI if you have both a PCIe and PCI card plugged in. Is this true? Never heard of that one.

Forget what I said go with the more expensive one. I think it's worth the 5 bucks for the copper heatsink espicially if you are a big gamer and all...
