Re: 4850 xfire, 9800GTX OC SLI or 9800 GX2 (600mhz)?
Why did you get rid of the 8800GTS SLI setup? |

If you can afford to wait until the 4870x2 comes out in August it will drop the price of the GTX280 below $400. Or just get a GTX260 now and overclock. |

Nvidia's pricing was (and still is) out of line without any competition. I'm glad AMD/ATI stepped up to the plate this time. |
