8800GT vs 3870 vs 3850

[bryanW1995]

no, not at all, I meant a 3850 as a 2nd card for xfire in the future, not as a replacement. I probably won't end up doing that as I'm very confident that I'll be able to either break out of my card in 9 mos or come very close to it at least, enabling me to snag a $300 r700/g100 variant (hopefully!)

this is great info - glad I got my brother one of these for $201 shipped (XFX 8800GT from Dell and payPal 20% back)
