Crossfire Unselectable in Control Panel

[Beatniche]

I have dual Hightech Radeon X800XL iceq2 graphics Cards. I am unable to select crossfire in the control center. i recieve the following error message:

"Note that crossfire only supports the RGB colorspace.
the currently connected display(most likely a tv or compenent video display) does not support this colorspace. Please connect a display (CRT or LCD for example)that supports RGB colorspace."

I've tried the setup on a Gateway LE500 and a Dell P780 with same results. I visited the ATI website and have found no moniter requirements. Each card is listed in the device manager totaling 4 listed (2 Regular and 2 Secondary). My motherboard is an Xpress 3200 chipset K9A Platinum MSI motherboard.

is one of the two x800s a crossfire card? Cause only x1600 and x1900gt or newer ati cards can do XF without the mastercard

Neither is, no. I thought that the Xpress 3200 Chipset alleviated that issue and allowed any crossfire capable card to be used.

I thought maybe the necessary hardware was included on motherboards with the new chipset.

I'm assuming this is incorrect?

i think you're wrong about the chipset... sell the other x800 on ebay or to a freind or sumthing

Yeah, I believe the only cards that don't need a Crossfire master card are the X1600, X1800GTO, and X1900GT.
