Although the P5K PRO supports AMD’s Cross Fire, it’s not just the P35 chipset’s inherent limitation of lobotomizing the bandwidth on the secondary video card slot to an x4 transfer that almost makes teaming up two cards to maximize gaming performance, moot. It’s the fact that the layout of the SATA ports puts them directly in the path of a video card installed in that second slot, making, it practically impossible to connect drives to them. Depending on the size and layout of your case, if you’re still using a 3.5” 1.44MB floppy drive, With the P5K PRO’s almost-in-the-back location of the floppy port, it’s probably not a bad idea to have a nice, long rounded floppy cable handy—just in case.
