Installed and looking good!

Looks like the included catalyst suite is 9.8. I've downloaded 9.10 but won't install until tomorrow at the earliest. This weekend I'll try the GPU folding client.

Woohoo! I'm exited! It may not be two 5870s in crossfire (I'm jealous Skully!) but it's a leap up from what I had.

This is what is frosting nether parts, I get the same score with one card.
I've run 3DMark Vantage with CrossFire and still same score as if using one card. CrossFire is setup right and is recognized in ATI control center.
I also down loaded the newest version of Vantage. Here's a screen shot of one
5870 card score on the right, and with CrossFire running score on left.

So I grabbed it while I could, its a HIS brand card.
WOW! Talk about a Heavy big long card.
This is where a big case, with a horizontal mobo board, comes in real handy.
Installation was easy with my PC case.
The card run fairly quiet, and cool with default cooler.
36C at idle, haven't taken a temp at load yet.
A crossfire will be something else, having two of these brutes in one case...
I've got some benchmarks and W-7 experience index..score.
I'll post more info, as I get to know this card better.
