Next upgrade will be.....

well in a bit of state as to what to get next another Asus 5870 for xfire goodness or a Intel X25-M Mainstream 80GB SSD currently using a 10k raptor as boot. what do we think?

SSD.

I'm going to assume that your single 5870 runs everything fine so you'll notice a bigger improvement with the SSD.

SSD hands down. But then, I'm not a gamer, so perhaps I don't understand.

Are there any games you play where you wish you had more GPU power to raise the min/avg framerate or turn all of the eye candy on higher?

Do you wish you had a PC that boots up like a ps3 console and doesn't make any of the racket of a Raptor? (I have 3 Raptors and since getting the intel X-25, the noise of the raptors has got more audible)

Sod it, just get both.

Thats the prob the 5870 max everything i play at 1900x1200 and my raptor is quite apart from evey now and again when you hear the heads click...hmmm very tricky

SSD now. 5870 later
