or own a bad axe motherboard. i think your all forgetting how many crossfire only motherboards there are out there, for some of us its still more cost effective to go buy two 2900's than even two 8800 gts's and a new sli motherboard.

some people just refuse to deal with all the issues with nvidia and sli blue screening a few times everyday, you cant blame people for wanting stability.

lol @ bad reviews:

Pros: Beatiful graphics.

Cons: Wooooow talking about heat , this things its hotter than a stove oven Over 92C. not good, it makes my system crash due to heat , I canot overclock my Core2Duo due to heat , heat its going to kill my whole rig , this thing raise my temperature inside my case by 20C. on a lian li case with many 120 MM fans , I had to run my pc with my case sides open just to run this card and thats not a good thing eventhought I have great air flow in my case , way hotter than a 8800GTS , monster power hungry card , im talking lots of power , high voltage and high Amperage needed to run this thing , I have to upgrade to a 1000V Power supply Unit to be able to overclock a little this card , not good overclocker , it needs a 8 pin PCI Xpress conector and not many PSU comes with one . The performance its about equal or less than a 8800GTS 320MB as my brother has one and we benchmarked to see the difference and he always wins with a very similar set up. It is not worth it.

ahahahah well 1, I can't imagine how much wattage your PSU needs to handle that and how much heat it would generate, and 2, I seriously doubt many people need crossfire considering a single card has more than enough power for almost everyone these days.
