Is the X1800XT compatible?

Yep...and thats one of the only reasons I havent cancelled my 7800GTX 512 MB order yet: I don't know if Crosfire will work on an nVidia SLi motherboard and I don't want to take the gamble and have it not work.

Then again, I am not sure if ATi will even release X1800 crossfire boards....they seem to be dragging pretty badly.

I havent done it yet...but I am getting tired of waiting. It's been well over a month on back order.
 
I thought the crossfire mobos had a special chip of some sort on them.
 
From my understanding, it is possible to do CrossFire & SLI with the same motherboard, I think Intel is coming out with a chipset that will work with either, but I don't think that nVidia has certified it, if it ever would. I believe that ATI developed core logic for the chipset. And of course, it's only for Intel chips.

I would love to see a fully supported motherboard that supports both CF and SLI, but I guess there just isn't any reason for either ATI or nVidia to care.

Nonetheless, I've been VERY happy with my GTX 512 setup. It really has made gaming fun again. I ordered one launch day and another two weeks latter and it actually only took me three weeks from ordering the first to having both in hand.

I really wish nVidia had been able to produce more, and I guess that after next month, it will go bye bye. But I pretty much plan on holding onto to these until DX10 parts and Windows Vista come out.

Then its spend a lot of money on upgrades time again!
