this is the card i have:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202029R
will the second and first card be able to work with each other? if so, will this crossfire bridge work to connect them? :

also, will the memory from the two cards combine to be 3gb that i can access at the same time, or is the vram only accessable from one card at a time, and do the cards share vram?

The cards should run in Crossfire mode just fine.

All Crossfire bridges and connectors are the same.

Memory in a Crossfire configuration does not combine, and will be limited to the smallest amount on a card in the Crossfire set. A 2 GB card and a 1 GB card together gives a total of 1 GB of memory.
