4890 crossfired with a 4870

[impaledmango]

I have one 4890 and I'm looking to get more graphical power since I am making the move to 1920 x 1200 in about 2 weeks. I'm look to spend under 150 dollars, so I was thinking I would buy a 4870 for $120 and then just crossfiring them. I dont really care if the 4890 runs at the speed of the 4870, because 2 4870s, is still alot of power. I could buy another 4890, but they are still $200.

Does this sound like a good idea?
