ATi Radeon X1900/X1950 Crossfire Edition

I was wondering something, the two Graphic Card I stated is it one card equals two of them working together, like the Intel's HT technology, or more compatible for Crossfire?

I think it works like this - You use a master card ( a regular card ) + a crossfire card for CF .
Like using a X1900 XTX+ a X1900 CF edition or a X1950 XTX and a X1950 CF edition . But I'm not sure about that . Perhaps someone with more knowledge than me about video cards can answer that correctly .

you mean if you install one of it into your PC, the PC will recognise it as two of them working together, like the Intel's Hyper Threading Technology, making the system to think that the computer is hooked with 2 processors?

You have to connect them with the crossfire bridge ( works the same way as a SLi bridge ) . It's a seperate connection between the cards .

so you mean it's more compatible for Crossfire?

I honestly am not sure . I think it's just a cheaper way to go CF , because as far as I know , you can put two X1900 XTX's in CF aswell , without a CF edition card . But I'm not sure . I'm sure Mike knows the answer to this .
