What is the cross fire feature of Asus motherboard? I don't see it on ASus usa site. Is this slightly older model?

It gives you the option of runing two ATI based video cards.There are two models(crossfire) from Asus at this time.The A8R32-MVP being the most recent release.

Is ATI crossfire feature as good as Nivedia card?

Thats a loaded question.I am not a fan of sli or crossfire at this time, unless you run your resoultion above 1600x1200 with all eye candy cranked up.

imo, it has its advantages...
yet I recommend a single high end graphics card... then when you need more GPU power, either add another GPU or replace it with the current high end GPU... whichever at that time gives the best performance boost.
