    I have had some trouble making phone calls to DELL and Alienware trying to upgrade my computer. Does anyone know what number to call to upgrade my Single 5870 to a Crossfirex 5870 system and get a quote from a rep? Thank you.

    Also interested. And I'm waiting to hear from someone to purchase a second 5870 and set up crossfire themselves.

    I called and I doubt they have the xfire kits available for the 5870 right now. Even single 5870s are out of stock according to my rep. I guess we will have to wait longer.
