Memoirs Of A 2900XT CrossFire System
 

If you are someone who likes to play single player RTS games and the new RPG/FPS titles like Oblivion or Stalker and not the internet frag fest that some like. The ATI CrossFire platform looks better with everything turned to its maximum at resolutions up to 1680X1050. Also the HDMI capabilities of the 2900 series are advanced well ahead of NVIDIA's 8000 series, which is cool when building a home theater based PC that you can game on the big screen with.

in what areas is the HD 2900 that more advanced to allow gaming on the big screen? sound over HDMI? is that it? if you can spend $500+ for a HTPC VGA system, I'm sure a nice Vid/audio tuner for your multimedia setup is peanuts;)

Article had some good gaps in logic. 1GB x 2900 cards are NOT "nearly half the price of a single 8800GTX card". They cost just as much as a full GTX.

Came across more as an article for showing off a sweet dream machine than a review.

Dunno. The new Dell 2407WFP-HC monitor is already ~$550. One good coupon deal or a few of the other discount codes stacked on would make it a steal... 22" monitors are everywhere in brick&mortar stores now, can find them for under $300 at times.

And I'll correct myself. An 800GTX is $55 cheaper than a 1GB HD 2900.

yup, 20+ TFT is actually quite common
