i personally am considering it when i have the cash, as long as the performance of the R700 isn't too much better.

links pls, as I would like to know this myself.
Well I had crossfire 3870s.
Have a look at the 3dmark thread.
That's my score with the p35 chipset.
Also I'm on the Crysis 1024 list with crossfire.
I personally didn't think it was worth it. The performance difference wasn't that..
I eventually sold the card and I'm now on a single 3870.
I think if i had the 3870x2 and thought about an extra little oomph by going with another 3870 I might consider it - but with the 4x interface I think you're better off selling the 3870 and going for a 3870x2 if you want 'proper' crossfire performance as it would then be running on a 16x interface .
That's unless you have quite a bit of money and go a 3870x2 and also a 3870 ..mm.. Then you have in theory 'maximised ' (single-card) crossfire performance and then a bit more of a boost to add to it.
