Get a 4850. Much better than both and can CF and scale very well.

maybe you could look at the 4850 that is out now for 199.99 its from ati so you could crosfire if your board supports it , if not get the 8800 gt it will work fine with your board and its cheap at that price

3870 since it blows air out the back, bench marks are BS!

the 3870 is a nice card and ati looks better


i agree the 4870 and 9600gt are the prime
