First, I wanted to thank everyone on the boards for being really good about answering my constant questions in regards to system specs.

Ok, I have a line on a new system that fits nicely within my budget and has the following specs:

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)
Intel Core i7 Processor 930 (2.8)
6GB DDR3 RAM
(2) ATI Radeon 4670 PCIe in ATI CrossFire Mode

The only thing I am concerned about is the graphics setup - will Ultra Mode support CrossFire graphic setups?

I glanced around on the suggested graphics card thread by Posi, but was unable to find this little bit of info.

I also have a alternate possibility, for a bit more, with a single Radeon 5870 - I know this will do well, but would it be better?

Any info or suggestions on this would be more than welcome.
(Also, if this should be in a different thread, please let me know and I'll comply.)

Thanks!

At last update, UM was not ultra-mode compatible. I believe the word from the Dev team was that they were working toward it, but that was some time ago.

I would, in all honesty, suggest you get the 5xxx over the twin 4xxx. I believe it would be the wiser choice.

I do believe there is a switch to force SLI but I've no idea if it works with Crossfire. It's also not officially supported. Probably best to take the single card over the dual. Also, it's easier to upgrade from there in future to say a second 5870 for Crossfire setup if desired down the road.

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Thanks again, folks!

Looks like it's custom system (with the 5870) time!
