I have a MP 2,1 and currently have 1 4890, hacked via the netkas thing. I'm wondering if I can put another one in there or not. I remember when hacking the one that's in there now, I had to deal with adding extra power to the card to get it to run. Will the MP 2,1 have enough power to support 2x 4890s? I read that OSX doesn't support CrossFire, but my main interest in putting two cards in is for when I use Boot Camp into Windows 7. So... my question is...

1. Can the Mac Pro 2,1 support 2x 4890 hardware-wise?
2. Will I need anything special to get 2x 4890s installed?
3. Will Windows 7 via Boot Camp support 2x 4890s?
4. Will booting with 2x 4890 installed cause issue software-wise... simply by being in there?

Thanks.
