Okay I have 2 ATI Radeon 4850 Graphics cards hooked up to my MSI Eclipse Motherboard. I put both Crossfire strips to connect the cards and installed the drivers included with each card (different manufacturers). In any case when I open ATI CCC only one of my 2 cards is listed under Graphics Adapter, however the CCC allowed me to enable crossfire. Does this mean only one card is working and installed or is this normal?

You can look in the overdrive settings to make sure you have both there. There should be a drop down towards the top. If you have two 4850 lines then it is working.

Also, if you right click on the CCC tray icon and go under your first 4850 and go to crossfire settings, you can enable the crossfire symbol to see when it is working in games. You can't miss it when you start playing....I think the icon is a little too big IMO.
