Sneak Peek at ATi's CrossFire Graphics System

Kez writes "While at Computex in Taipei HEXUS.net grabbed some benchmarks of an ATi CrossFire powered system. They have since had the chance to reconstruct a similar system and perform the same benchmarks with other cards and configurations to give us an idea of how CrossFire will perform. Obviously, CrossFire's performance will almost certainly change before release time, but in the very least the article provides an idea of what to expect. Interestingly, from these tests it looks like Nvidia's SLI may remain top-dog for graphics performance."

I recently got a quote for a decent 3D game-capable computer for my son (Athlon64 3000+, 512MB RAM, Asus A8N-E, 256MB video card, CD/DVD burner) and the single largest cost was for the OS - Windows XP.
