Question! Can I crossfire my 3870X2 with a 3870 with my Maximus Formula flashed to Rampage Formula? I've been looking and can't seem to find if I can do it!
 
of course! have fun. Had that setup for a little while, but since ATi drivers SUCK, and vista is the worst OS i have ever used, and scaling performance wise was terrible, I got rid of that setup. Your mileage might vary though, but in short, YES you can. I too have a Maximus Formula modded to Rampage formula, flawless setup! You will just use 1 x-fire bridge to connect the 3870x2 - 3870.....

ATI drivers for Vista are pretty damn good. How much benefit there is from a 3rd card is a different matter. Also if Vista is the worse OS you have used then you haven't tried Win 98 (not the Second Edition) or ME.
 
I've heard/read that the 3870 X2 scaled better with another 3870 then it does with another 3870 x2
