1. Crossfire is using two graphics cards as one. E.g. if you have 2 cards with 4gigs of vram each, then crossfire/sli them, the two cards act as one faster 4gig card (not 8gigs in total)
2. You put the two cards into your crossfire/sli supporting motherboard, connect to two with a crossfire/sli connection, and after that I'm not sure.
3. Not sure what you mean with a "traditional gpu." I do believe there are some GPUs that don't support crossfire. The important thing to remember, it's always best to crossfire/sli two of the same cards, rather than mix and matching them. There's already enough occasional problems with crossfire/sli support.
4. Not sure. You'll have to google around for what your processor supports.
5. Whenever you want to know comparisons, look up "benchmarks" for those cards. Benchmarks basically are values obtained through various tests that can then be used to compared hardware performance under various similar condition. anandtech is a good website to know. There are many other websites that perform benchmarks. Also, read discussions through other forums of user experiences.
6. Sure.
7. Cheese (preferably bleu), lettuce, lots of onions, jalapenos, and sometimes bacon.
