I just bought a DFI crossfire mb and haven't had any of the issues
that Hardocp had with their DFI board. The only issue I had with
the board was getting rid of a yellow flag in device manager
concerning the raid controller but I forced it to accept the driver from
the floppy and all is well.
My only compaint now is availability of the X1800XT and it's crossfire
brother.

Maybe DFI had a batch-quality problem with their Newegg allottment ??
And Hardocp got unlucky ? You may want to e-mail the article writer
giving all details of your DFI Crossfire board purchase.

I suspect that you may be waiting for the X1800XT Crossfire master
card until January/February if you want to get one at a reasonable
price. Newegg has only been receiving erratic batches of X1800XT
plain-vanilla (512Meg @ $599 ) . Next shipment 11/15 ( maybe ).
ZipZoomFly has the X1800XT/512 in stock right now at $699...... !!!
Wanna buy one at that price?
Seems as if ATi's policy of paper-releases followed by
trickle-supplies really allows suppliers (and Ebay) to take
'early-adopter' customers for a ride.

When you sober up would you be kind enough to explain what you were on
about?
