ATI Crossfire people enter

I got 40% through an employee purchase program so I went ahead and bought two Radeon X1900 cards, but I bought both Crossfire Editions... I was reading the manual though, and it says these act as the master card in the SLI setup... but it also doesnt say if it can also be a slave too? Do I have to return one of these for a nonCrossfire Edition of the X1900 (one thats just a standard version) or will one of my Crossfire Editions automatically know that its the slave in the setup?

After many hours of angry frustration and long phone calls with ATI, it CAN'T be done with two crossfire versions! Had to send one back for a standard version :(

I've tried many ATI video products over the years on many different machines and I was never able to get any of them to work in a reliable way. The machine would hang, drivers wouldn't install, etc.
