Ok so here is the scoop. I currently have an Asus 4870 1GB Dark Knight card. I'd like to crossfire, but the 1GB card has a significant price difference over the 512MB version. From what I've read you can CF a 1GB and 512GB card, but the 1GB card would only recognize 512MB. Any thoughts on this? Would this setup top selling off this card and getting a single GTX 285?

Currently the 4870's are high in price, they seem to go up and down every time I look. The Asus 512MB was $140 after rebate at one point, so I would wait until this price comes down again.
