one school of thought is that 1 NF200 chip hinders performance slightly from what people have tested, so two would further hinder performance.

the other school of thought would be that somehow having two working in unison might help the 4x4890 setup due to so much data being pushed from 4 cards.

my guess is there will be no benefit going from a single NF200 (Classified) to a dual NF200 (P6T7 WS) as i believe they both just end up pushing the data to the IOH through the same BUS. obviously empirical testing is the only way to find out though...who's got a P6T7 WS they want to lend me for a weekend of testing
Excellent noob-friendly answer, thx bro
