Well this is generally faster than 4870X2 by a decent enough margin, like 10-15%. Either way its a lot of money to drop on a card, and a lot of power. Gotta have 1920x1200 at least.

That's looking like a smoking fast system! That should work really great!

Maybe consider a slightly better CPU cooler though, for maybe another $10. Those Q6600's make a little bit more heat since...

We can't see your wishlist there unfortunately.

If you want to buy AMD you are in a pickle right now. Their current Phenoms are pretty poor performers. Phenom II is right around the corner and it's...

If they are really close in price just go with the 4870x2, but if the 4850x2 is way cheaper then go with that.

Before I know what power supply you have, I will suggest the 9600 GT because most standard big-box-retail-computer power supplies should have enough oomph to power one, and it will be much, much...

Is that a 3ghz Pentium 4 or Pentium D Dual Core?

Anywho, 9800 GTX+ and 4830 are good choices on power consmuption. The 4850 will probably work as well and it is faster than the 4830 and on par with...

People say alot of good things about eVga's 750i FTW board. I assume you want two lanes for SLI or Crossfire? The 750i FTW is an SLI board. Any X38, P35, P45 or X48 board should do you for Crossfire....

The new Phenom II top-of-the-line is supposed to be very competitive. It has a really really large cache (since AMD processors generally use less cache than Intel ones) and is stock clocked @3.0ghz....

I really hope that Hydra chip comes through and works as they say it does.

4870X2 is the fastest card for gaming.

GTX 280 has extremely powerful GPGPU applications, although I do not know if that's what you are looking for.

Otherwise, GTX 280 is the second fastest card....

No, it's two dies in a single GPU. Kind of like how Core 2 Quad is just 2 Core 2 Duo dies strapped together.

It's just a Crossfire with an internal connection between the two cores instead of an...
