No Crossfire option

Hi,

I have a Dell XPS710 which comes with the X1950 Crossfire Edition and
the X1950 Crossfire Series. I've loaded the latest drivers and Catalyst
(8.33, 7.1) yet I don't have a Crossfire option within Catalyst.

I've tried connecting the cable from the VHDCI port on the Edition to a
DVI port on the Series card, and the other end to my monitor, but it
doesn't display anything. Within Displays Manager I have 4 screens - is
this normal? Shouldn't 2 of these be 'merged' if I'm using Crossfire?

I'm running XP Home.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong here?

Thanks,

First, yes it is normal to see 4 screens listed in the Display
Manager. Now when you connected Cable from the Master card to the
slave which DVI connector did you use? The proper connection would be
to the DVI connector closest to the motherboard on the slave card. As
I understand it you won't have the option to enable crossfire if the
cable isn't connected correctly.
