HEXUS managed to get down and dirty with a Crossfire based rig today. The solution was running on a complete reference design, but was built by Sapphire - an ATi AIB and Motherboard partner.

Me want!! But of being an ASUS liker i would like to get another ASUS X800XL Crossfire card and ASUS board. From what i have seen the ASUS board has more space between their PCI 16x slots. All the better. Like the idea that no active cooling is needed for the boards
so when we going to see some gaming benchmark result :E
... soon
Thanks for the hands on view. One problem, though:
The compositing engine is the Xilinx Spartan FPGA. The SiI1161 shown in the image is for DVI input from the slave R4x0 which sends the slave image to the FPGA compositing engine. The master image is sent directly to the FPGA via the integrated master R4x0 TMDS. The combined output is sent to the display from the FPGA via DVI (SiI1162) or via analog RAMDAC (AD7123).Here you can (almost) see the Silicon Image chip which does the compositing.
It's your call whether a 1600x1200 limited DVI receiver/transmitter pair or 240MHz RAMDAC is high end these days... Of course these may not be final boards...
