You could always wait until the G70/R520 are out. G70 is supposed to go into production in the next few weeks.

Crossfire has some major weaknesses (along with SLI). Who knows how much a Master X800XT (or a X850XT for that matter) will be. ATI isn't exactly great about delivering new products. It will probably be $50-$100 more MSRP - but over $200 more due to that fact that ATI can't get them out.

Plus an ATI motherboard is very oOo: They aren't exactly known for good chipsets.

For now I say go A64 with an NF4 SLI motherboard, throw in an X800XL and a gig of RAM and you're good to go. We'll see what's out when you are ready to buy.
