| Probably not worth the extra for the 6700 over the 6600 and maybe get a second hard drive, a 7200 rpm model to store your files keeping the system drive clear. Are you looking at 2x 1950pros or xts? As Gonzo said might be worth waiting a week for the launch of G80 to see where everything stands and if ati will do a price cut on their high end cards. |
