got a sapphire 5850 extreme and im seriously considering getting a second one.

im wondering if i put a second one in my comp would i have 2 gig vid memory or would it only use 1 gig?

no idea how memory across cards work in crossfire.
 
You only get the VRAM space of a single card.

Both cards use their 1GB, but as they both need the same frame buffers, it "appears" as 1GB of usable VRAM.

Simply put, crossfire doesn't "add" RAM.
