I have decided for money reasons I am going to go with a x1300 pro. something else I am thinking about is getting a second x1300 pro and enabling it with crossfire. The crossfire thing is new to me. from what I understand if I put 2 x1300 pro in a crossfire compatable motherboard, the software with it renders graphics in different ways where one gpu is processing a certain part of the screen and the other gpu is processing the remainder of the screen. so i guess basically my question is...if I get 2 x1300 pros I will be able to use crossfire?
