3870x2 Performce & Cross Firing Quesitons

Are you able to crossfire ATI cards of different models...
So, what can i Crossfire my 3870x2 with?
Can that work with a newer 4850/4870 for example?!
or is there a limit on the age / spec of card??!

ALso...
is the 3870x2 still a decent card to have?
The reason i am asking is becuse i am in process of going to get a new PC on the go......so was wondering is it worth keeping the 3870x2, CF with a newish card......OR
Getting a Brand new card?

The 3870x2 is old. You can't crossfire a 3870 with ANY card in the 4 series, you can only crossfire cards from the same series.

you can crossfire a 3870x2 with another 3870x2 or a 3870, but, with your motherboard you can't do cossfire, i think your MB have a PCIx and a AGP slot, not 2 PCIx

That's a great CPU. Definitely worth it if you want to go AMD. You'll find it is highly recommended on here.
