I've got an x800gto flashed to 16p at the moment... I'm wondering if I should by a crossfire card (running 3200x mobo) and do that. One concern though I have though is that i don't know if the crossfire card will run at 16 pipes with my gto. If i did go crossfire I was planning on skipping r600 and waiting for r700 cards and am2/am2+ processors to come out.

The other option would be to hit up r600 and crossfire some midrange cards, and possibly invest in water cooling for processor/videocard overclocking.

thoughts!?
