do Crossfire 2900PROs beat out a 8800GTX? AND if they do...is it by a wide margin? Won't that limit upgradibility in the future? (for instance, instead of buying an extra GTX ill hav to scratch both 2900s and get a new card)
Also, (completely off topic) I am wondering how ASUS mobos are and what is a good one i could get (from ASUS)?
ATI are still working out driver kinks..but yes 2900Pros in crossfire will in general beat a 8800GTX...especially at the resolution you are playing.
However, you're right about having to resell both cards to upgrade...and not all games are Crossfire optimized or support crossfire.
Personally, I prefer single GPU solutions as they are more efficient in just about every way you can think...but for raw power at higher resolutions they certainly have their place. An overclocked 8800GTX would do just fine....then when something better comes out resell it and buy something new!
As for Asus mobos, in general they are great...I recommend the P5K Deluxe
