Crossfire question.

Yup it will.
You really would have thought that they would have figured out a way of combining the RAM so both GPUs especially on a duel chip card could access the same RAM, perhaps it is a physical restraint of the RAM technology used as we see Duel CPU systems also having two separate banks of RAM. However there also exists ganged and unganged modes for multi core CPUs so that they may access the RAM independently per core or together as a unit, weather doing this across two separate GFX chips would cause some issue with latency/timing sync or whatever, I don't know. (sorry just thinking to myself
