Would it be possible in the future?

I still haven't really decided between the MSI Neo4 Platinum or the DFI Lanparty Ultra-D for the computer I'm building. The Ultra-D is hypothetically SLI capable, which is a bonus, but I don't want to run nVidia SLI. I'm thinking of using the x700 Pro with that setup in a future Crossfire setup. Do you think that it would be somehow possible for some uber-comp-techies to create some sort of way to mod it? Or would it be completely out of the question because of the nVidia board chipset?

doesn't crossfire need at least an x800?

ATM everything suggest that you would need a Crossfire ready chipset from ATi.

No, you only need 1 Crossfire-ready card. The 2nd card can be any card with an ATI chip.

I have a dfi nf4 ultra and that idea sounds interesting. I have an x800xl, so could it be done with another crossfire card?

Oops, my bad. Crossfire will only work with an X800 or above -_-; The second card must be an "X800 Crossfire ready (works with all X800's)" or an "X850 Crossfire ready (works with all X850's)".

from what i understand there is a "master card" <not talking credit card> and a "slave card"

Yes, the "Crossfire ready" card is the master, and an ordinary X800 or X850 is the slave.
