    Ive been doing some reading about graphics cards and what it seems like to me is .... a duel 8800 setup is almost just a powerful as a duel 9800 setup. Am I completely in left field about this one? Or is there some truth to this? Because if so, I can save some money in that department. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    which 8800 are you talking about, there are nearly 10 variations.

    GTX: 100% more powerful
    512MB GTS: about the same
    GT: a bit less, still able to hold its own with its price/performance though

    Ya... Sorry about that. Should have been more specific. Was in reference to the 8800GT.

    The 9800GT isn't out yet, but its basically identical to the 8800GT. The 9800GTX is just a slightly overclocked 8800GTS.

    Just get the 8800GT and be happy with it. Its a great card. :)
