I just sold my macbook pro. I have a budget of around $1400.
I am going to use my 4850 in TV computer until I can get a 5870.
I had thought about SLI GTX 260s for 144 each. But I think the 5870 will be a better deal.
Right now im at $1257 with out a heatsink. Could you guys recommend one?
I picked the Xeon because ive read that they are binned better and I cant find one that does less than 4.2. I have a microcenter about 60 miles away. Its a shitty drive too. So I could get the $199 i920.
Let me know what yall think.
