1x Radeon X1950PRO or 2x Radeon X1650PRO Crossfire?

Hi all,

So, I'm just starting to get back into the game from a LONG LONG absence, and really like AMD/ATI's offerings. So, I'm going to build a system based around the AMD 64 X2 CPU and ATI Radeon X1K graphics.

I want to keep the graphics price around $200. So, my question is, if I get an AMD/ATI Crossfire Xpress 3200 board, would I get better video performance with 1 Radeon X1950PRO or 2 Radeon X1650PRO cards running in Crossfire mode?

Thanks!

One X1950 PRO.

The X1650 isn't much faster than a Radeon 9800 Pro.
