Can i use a 8600 in one spot and a 7950 in another? or do they have to be both 8600's? also, if they have to be the same, do i need the same manufacturer? i wouldnt think so since the chipset is the same, but idk if they even need to be the same model in the 1st place =P

Best to have 2 identical cards. Will save you from much hadache then using same models from different manufacturers

They can be different brands (although same brands are best), however, they must be the same type. So, you cannot have an 8600 and a 7900. You'd have to havetwo of the same GPU's. (graphics processing unit). Either two 8600's or two 7900's etc., etc.
