In 12 months the X800 pro will be at $250, maybe starting to flirt w/ $200 on ebay.
Most radeon 9700 pros ARE used, and they sell around $125. ti-4600's sell around $90, all used. I know, I bought one.
Radeon 8500's sell for around $45 now. Same with GF3's.
By the way. The last time this kind of "double video card" technology happened, there was some major breakthrough in card technology that made the double-card option too expensive and obsolete. I wouldn't bother investing in this tech @ this point.
CWAG, just get the 9800 pro, it is a tried and true card that plays nice in the oldest and the newest games. That's the card I will be getting as soon as I have the money to purchase a nice system. (athlon 64 baby!)
