I'm putting together a new system and thinking about getting this:

Looks like AMD and ATI are the same company now, so obviously they're going to recommend you use AMD hardware with thier video cards now.
Does anyone know anyone else who has tried using ATI crossfire video cards on an Intel chipset and if they had any trouble with it etc?
This is the motherboard I currently have picked out:

The comparable Nvidia cards are much faster and mroe stable at this point. I do not reccomend ATI.

I've not had an nVidia card Since my GeForce 4 Ti4600
It was quite a fierce card for its time.
The only reason I've switch over to ATI cards was because I was working at a computer store at the time, and everytime someone ordered an uber computer with a high end video card, we'd run stuff like 3dMark on it to see how it stacked up to other computers we built. I tried to ignore it, but the ATI cards were clearly beating the nVidia cards.
However, this was like four or five years ago.
So, were you to blow $800 on a pair of nVidia cards, which would you pick?

OK OK
You made me go back and do a little more research
I'm glad I did.
I'm leaning more towards getting this video card:

on this motherboard:

I think I was letting the prettiness of the fact that the ATI product came in a shinny steel briefcase overwhelm my judgement
The bottom line is, if I want to run cross-fire cards, and do it well, I'm pretty much stuck with getting an AMD setup.
