After processing this again, I realize it because you have 2 cards for 4 heads. Yes,
you loose the 2nd pair of heads in crossfire mode but I thought only under 3D. Since
my X2 is 4 head I've not hit an issue with 3 devices (2 monitors, 1 TV) but would if
I tried to do 3-4 monitors w/ crossfire still enabled.
Vista of course, YMMV proportional to the headaches it causes.

Are you saying that in non-crossfire mode with 3+ monitors there's an
issue?
no I am saying if you run multiple monitors, I am running a Gateway 3000
on one Asus EAH4970 and two DELL 2407s on another EAH4970, each at it's
native resolution. If I enable Crossfire I loose the DELLs 2D or 3D. I
only see the 30 inch monitor. Asus says this is how crossfire works. So
when you wrote that you were able to use multiple monitors with
crossfire enabled I assumed you were spanning the monitors across one
resolution.... which can be done with some drivers.
When I enable Crossfire in Vista 64, say to play a game, the desktop
gets messed up when I restore normal mode. So I boot into XP64 with
crossfire enabled if I want to play a game....and I only see the 30 inch
monitor.
