in some theoretical testing,3870X2 is more powerful than 8800Ultra ,it means when you do some extremely arithmetic in pure X2 is great. and it's gamming performance just a little behind the 88Utra |

^Agreed. Like I said before the Ultra is kind of an overkill. If planing on OCing make sure you get a good cooler. Forgot to add: Get a 320GB+ 7200.11 HDD its almost as fast as a Raptor in most benchmarks.
