Sounds like they are saying that the 7900 is SLI ready meaning it's capable of running in SLI mode same with Crossfire.....am I wrong about that?

That is what I was thinking. The ones that are actually SLI are the ones that say 2x beside them.

Well if that goes the same for crossfire I'll get the 1900. It is cheaper and about the same performance right?
