let me first clear some things up: i dont care for the new tech. (the gt300/5 series, i wait till next year for those..), i want to get 2 video cards, and do either SLI or Crossfire, but i cant decide which cards to get. i have some choices:
my monitor runs at 1920x1080 i believe 9its an HD monitor (thats why i got it)
choices so far: x2 4850 (i know its old but they are $125 on newegg)
XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16.... link
x2 EVGA gtx 260 core 216 ($189.99)
link
budget: um under 400? not sure, kinda want to be able to get another HDD for windows 7 and other (small) upgrades, that dont make me poor 
opinions/suggestions please.
thanks !
