Let's say I buy the same video card, except one has 2 gb and one has 1 gb - how does that interact with Xfire? How does use or interact with dissimilar video memory amounts?

the 2GB card will ignore half its memory, but should work just fine.

Just get 2 with the same amount of memory now. Is your sig up to date or do you already have another card? If your buying 2 right now just get 2 with the same amount of vram. Pointless to buy cards with mismatched vram amounts.

sig is a bit out of date, i currently have 8 gb ram, a q9550 (at 4.0 ghz) on the way. Video card is the final upgrade but I have not bought anything yet.

So let's say hypothetically speaking you happen to have a 1GB GTX 6870 and want to buy a 2GB 6870. That's a excellent idea if you plan to upgrade both to 2gb. What you could do is crossfire the 2 cards and put the 1gb for sale online, once it sells you them use the money toward a second 2gb 6870.
In your case it seems like your not already invested in a card so will buy 2. Just get 2 cards with the same amount of vram. Buy a little more than you think you need in terms of performance delivered so your not wanting to upgrade in 3 or 4 months time.
