Customizing a Dell XPS 710 and wondering which option to select?

256MB nVidia GeForce 7900 GS [Included in Price]
Dual 256MB nVidia GeForce 7900 GS [add $220 or $7/month1]
Dual 512MB ATI Radeon X1950 XTX CrossFire [add $860 or $26/month1]
768MB nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX [add $550 or $17/month1

I am getting the desktop on financing, the ATI I think is a bit too much, what do you guys suggest?

It depends what you do with the computer.

If you're planning on high-end gaming (Oblivion, FEAR, etc.) get the 8800GTX. If you're planning on mid-level gaming (Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Doom 3, etc.) go with the Dual 7900GS's.

If you don't play anything that requires a lot of graphics horsepower (World of Warcraft, Civilization 4, Counter-Strike: Source, no games at all, etc.) just stick with one 7900GS.

Since Dell approved me for only 2000$, I have to go with XPS 410 with 7900 GS. I guess it should allow me to play current and future Guild Wars fine.
