    Maybe we should start one up? I can't find one. Seeing that I play WoW and learning that it doesn't support Cfire. (meaning I'm not going to upgrade to Cfire on my 5870 'cause I only play WoW)

    Just about every game supports CF.
    From the ones i've got installed now 100% of them support it :
    Assassins Creed 1/2
    COD Modern Warefare
    Dirt 2
    Battlefield Bad Company
    Mass effect
    Dragon Age.....

    I think a thread with games that don't work properly with Crossfire would be better, as you wouldn't have such a huge list. ;)

    Old games (<2006) don't support SLI/Xfire

    Not all of them. Some old 3D games I've tried benefit from SLI and Crossfire just fine (at least if you force it with nHancer/ATi Crossfire Xtension).

    correct. Some older games work fine with it (like far cry) forcing it doesn't yield as high a result if it actually supports it however.

    WOW dose use CF and Sli in their graphics engine granted it CPU use is much more used, and not a lot of gain from duel cards but they are working on it. This info can be found from Blue posting on the Wow forums,and are expanding on this for the upcoming Cat: :D
