I can't answer the rest of your queries, but I will clarify one small
point above - the integrated ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics chipset will
work with CentOS, it just isn't supported by the ATI/AMD proprietary
driver under 6.4 (which I guess is what you meant above). But to clarify
it is supported by the stock kernel driver in CentOS 6.4.
Whether that will allow for CrossFire and/or other more advanced
configurations I do not know, and hopefully someone else will be able to
answer.
