I do like the idea of Ati and AMD as underdogs united. Other than that, I'm slowly coming around to the view that where Open GL in games is concerned, you may have a point.
Thats ok I have the P5WDHdelux its a mobo crossfire set-up, I can run SLI on it no problem. I had 2 x HD 3870's running in crossfire and they would only get 40fps in IL2 4.09mb1 max'ed out...

SLI is ran through your cards, the mobo crossfire is only for the ATI cards that don't need the bridge, the HD 3870's and above that need the bridge use only the ATI CCC crossfire set up enabled... Don't be fooled into think just because it states crossfire Mobo it just means it can be bridged through the Mobo..
