or tri 8800gts vs dual 3870x2


That would be one hell of a match up. Of course, we would have to wait for drivers (Vista SLI/Crossfire X)to show up... Seems like these companies are have little trouble building these things, it's the actual tuning of them that they are not doing so well with... By that time though, they will probably already have the next generation of hardware out and be back to square one with the drivers...

Pretty much and SLI or CrossFire setup can do that... Not much you can do unless you want to water cool them.

Or have the computer sit on its side with the cover off and a regular box fan blowing on it =)
