Hey, I've tried to find on here the card from ATI that uses a bridge like NVidia cards instead of the dongle, but I'm getting confused on what I see. I know it's one of the X1950 models, but which is it exactly?

X1950 Pro ;)

follows the same technique as SLi...no master card needed :)

Im not sure about the X1950XT though, because i know the X1950XTX goes with the X1950 crossfire (both with GDDR4 memory), so im not sure what the X1950XT goes with

but the X1950 PRO only needs another X1950 PRO for crossfire ;)

All the X1950 Pro's are crossfire.
ASUS is selling one of thier cards without the crossover link.
They offer another card that encludes the crossover link.
I don't know of anyother that does not come with the crossover link.
So all you need to do is get yourself a pair of X1950Pro's and place two of the crossover links between the two cards and when you install the drivers be sure you select Crossfire mode.
nVidia only uses one crossover link and it supports 24mhz data travel.
The crossfier cards with two crossfire links hooks up with 32mhz data travel.
This makes the X1950 Pro cards run super fast and the opticals are super great.
These two cards setup in Crossfire Mode plays very well along side the GForce 8800 cards.
