    5850 1GB CF Vs. 5970 2GB

    They both are about the same price. any performance differences? does overclocking have any more positive effects on a single video card versus dual cards? upgrading from a single 4850. i can't afford to do 5970 in CrossFire ($1200 in video cards? hell no)

    Cheap Video Card to play GTA 4 on maximum settings?

    Because i can get much much better performance on a PC, and i can also modify it with different Car's, guns etc. unlike the Xbox, where you can only use a few DLC's from XBL i already have an Xbox 360 anyway.

    Is this a good gaming setup?

    sorry, but there is a start to everything. just give me a chance to learn about it. not all of us are born knowing everything about computers. and, yes, i do have a family member who uses computers most of the day everyday. he can help me if i need him. and i do know what mice, keyboard...
