Perhaps it's possible to get more functionality out of this card, but if so, I've not heard about it.

Also, for those wondering about how I've been doing regarding reboots, I recently eliminated another source of reboots for my system: nVidia's ntune. I'd have random problems with reboots when settings profiles were loaded (both automatically and manually), as well as reboots when doing simple things like changing fan speeds. Other issues were profiles not always loading when I told them to, which was actually a godsend at times when loading them would cause a reboot. I've replaced it in its entirety with RivaTuner, which so far has been both reliable and stable. Since I'm sure most people with this board have it for its SLI abilities, I figure there are probably other people out there with ntune that may have similar problems. If you have it, I recommend getting rid of it.
The MSI canada sight states EAX 5.0 compatibility. I have a normal x-fi PCI card in my other rig and It doesn't work very well with EAX 5.0 in BF2, either, although I can enable the AdvancedHD mode. Sounds are very bad on some maps, though, and so I don't use AdvancedHD mode.
