i got a x1900xt ati radeon, and was thinking about going cross-fire. will the asus ASUS EAX1900 CrossFire 512MB work with my ati radeon x1900xt in cross-fire setup...or do i need another ATI card??

You need to get whats called a Master card, or Crossfire Edition. It should be different than a regular card. You also need an ATi Xpress3200 chipset capable of cross-fire.

from what info i have , the asus x1900 crossfire card is eactly as the ati cross-fire card, just has a different sticker on the fan,...so i am thinking it will work with my ati x1900xt card?

You can interchange manufacturers of X1900s, but the Master card HAS to be there, or else you cant use them. The Master card is DIFFERENT from the regular card. Just because it says crossfire ready doesnt mean its a master card.

If thats the card you are talking about, then yes, it will work. As long as you have the right motherboard...ATI Xpress3200 has to be present.
