Crossfire basically does the same as having 2 CPUs... split up the work. It even detects if you have one slow and one fast card and then gives the faster the more critical jobs and the slower one..... the others

SLI is more mature though, but ATI is gonna make crossfire w/ a bridge like SLI

the cool thing about crossfire tho is that you dont need two of the same cards, like SLI does, and its more of a master/slave relationship then SLI is....only one of the cards needs to be a crossfire card.

in most cases, yes to the first 2.....but you might have to tweak some stuff in the bios.

no, you can run CF on a CF or SLI or intel 975X board, but SLI only on SLI boards
