 You shouldn't get it. It's not worth the $500 to $600 it's selling for.

A better choice would be two 8800 GTS 512 graphics cards in SLI, if you have an SLI motherboard. The total cost for two of those would be $400, and it would be slightly faster than the 9800 GX2. Or, if you can wait, new cards with new architectures should show up by summer.

 Ye probably best to wait,I'm still using an old nvidia motherboard like not even the 480i one :S

Basically come my bday in april I'll have over £500 ($1000) to spend on a good pc,I know I can get a quad core and good motherboard along with a great gfx card for under £400 so that leaves £100 and some extra cash for a decent heatsink and case,but I hate blingy cases,I buy cheapy $20 ones just to keep the bloody thing in :P
