Sweet but you can do just fine with a P35-DSL.

are you really going to notice any differnece in COD4 with 4870x2 compared to a 4870 ?

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-4870,1964-7.html

the 4870 gives 56 fps
at 1920 x 1200
AA 4x + AF

at 1680 x 1050
AA 4x + AF
you get 67 fps

I'm sure the 4870x2 will do better, I'm jsut don't know if you will notice that much of a difference considering the price

what resolution will you be playing at?

22' 1680x1050. Dunnoy yet.. a friend of mine is going to buy a similar comp with 2x4870.. so ti think im gonna try my computer with only one 4870 and see if its enough for what i want =)

A 4870X2 might benefit from PCIe 2.0. I think a P43 would be a better fit.

100 euros is the P5Q-pro price in my country.. whats is really good =) why get another?

It would be nice if they had links to the motherboad but the 4870x2 Will be worth it from what I heard it =normal CF of 4870 +20% more and ATI knows they have a winner

Nothin' wrong with the P5Q-Pro, it just might be a little more than you need. If you found a good price for it there's no reason to avoid it.
