ok im pretty up to date with hardware etc... and im very close to buying new computer. this is what i will most likely buy:
x2 4800
2 gigs of ram
mobo
audigy 2 plat (already have)
2 10k rpm raptor drives (already have)
drives etc... (got it)
video card(s): 2 7800gtx cards
ive talked to a lot of my friends about it and they got me thinking...why pay what close to a grand for 2 video cards when you can buy one and almost get the performance and then a year or two from now spend that 500 dollars you saved on a top of the line video card that way for 4 years your card is pretty much the ******.
i countered with the fact that when buying computer i usually go for the best at the time and have the machine last me 4 years, thats been the cycle...no real complaints. plus i feel that posts and friends haven't warmed up to multi gpu thing. dual video cards really pull ahead when you turn on AA and AF and i want to be able to do that maxed out. also, drivers and games are only going to get better and more enhanced for dual vid card setup. sooooo why should i not buy 2 vid cards?
