#7815 — Any experience with OpenCL and AMD Crossfire HD5970 GPU

Last weekend I bought a 6 year old computer with an Intel I7-965 cpu
and two AMD Crossfire HD-5970 graphics cards each with 2GB of DDR5 ram.
It has an MSI motherboard and 6GB of ram. It was originally a gaming
computer but I am interested in using the machine for number crunching.

I have started reading the text OpenCL by Example, but before I get
too far into it I would like someone to tell me if I am wasting
my time with the hardware. So far the text only refers to AMD HD6xxx
and HD7xxx cards.

I am particularly attracted by the specs that say each of the
cards is capable of 4.5Tflops.

Thanks for any advice.
