Introduction

Today we are looking at a second offering in the X1600 line-up from Hightech Information Systems or as we refer to our friends as the gang over at HIS.  We will be reviewing this video card in much the same fashion that we did the X1600 PRO when we reviewed it last week, with one small change, this time we will be combining the two video cards so that they can be tested as in a CrossFire configuration.  We will get into that a bit more as we get deeper into the review.
