    Has anyone been able to get the 4870s to work in crossfire in Windows XP yet on the M17x?

    I have been trying all sorts of drivers and install methods and have only been able to load the graphics drivers so far using the have disk method via the device manager. There are NO official XP drivers for these cards so I have been mobility modding (the one from driver heaven) all the drivers so far. I can get the drivers to load and work as 2 independent cards but have not been able to get crossfire to be an option (or enabled).

    For what it is worth, I am also interested in getting ATI Tray Tools to work but have had no luck.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks!
