A choice

[Andy1911]

Ok i am getting a card in jan was thinking the 4870x2 but i was wondering would having 2 4850x2 in crossfire be better for me than just the one 4870x2
like would i need to upgrade my card sooner if i had the 4870x2 as apossed to the dual 4850x2 oh and would it fit lol and would my psu be ok for it

my set up is a 24 inch LCD (main monitor) a 19 inch LCD
i have a corsair 620w modular
4gGB(4x1GB)
8800gts (for now)
AND A E8500 dual core
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 rev 2.0
in a NZXT Lexa Blackline

i understand what you are saying at somepoint then i will upgrade my mobo any good low cost sudgestions for me?
as for the card yeh i could get away with a 1GB 4870 but i am looking to get the best top end card setup i can afford as i normally only have a big lump of cash once a year and i would rather my card lasted a couple of years at least.
and is there no way to make both slots run at 16x?

well i have just read on my custom pc mag that the 4870x2 is the best card on the marke just now so i will prolly just go with that.
any sudgestions on a good mobo to go with at some point i will do crossfire with 2x 4870x2
and i will get a bigger monitor also but that wont be for a while.
