4870x2 crossfire multi-monitor question

[LordBiff]

Hi all,

I've been trying to nail down exactly what the story is on crossfire, the 4870x2, and multiple monitors.

I currently have two monitors: dell 3007 (30") + dell 2007 (20"). I'd like to be able to run these both off the one card, and I'd like to be able to run *multiple*, windowed, Direct3D applications at once, spread across these monitors. And of course, I want it hardware accelerated. This is for vista 64, btw.

I've seen a couple of different sources say crossfire supports this, but I wonder how that relates to this single (x2) card solution as opposed to multiple cards in a traditional crossfire configuration? Can I just plug my two monitors into the two DVI ports and have it work like this?

Also, does this card support crossfireX (which seems to be what I need to crossfire over multiple monitors)? ATIs site doesn't list it as supported, not sure if that's just because it's new or if it really isn't supported.

Any help you could offer is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I believe you can just plug it into the x2 and it should work just fine

yeah, CF you should be able to run multiple monitors w/ out any issues
