Thanks for the response.

I may go ahead with this machine and just offer my help testing if you
ever need someone with this sort of hardware. It's very cost effective
at this point to purchase 2 $100 ATI cards that support the feature
with (generally) better performance than a single $200 card.

I presume that I can still run the machine but just use a single card?
Maybe that's a dangerous assumption...

Again, thanks for the response.

Cheers,
Mark
