It's also worth noting that most 4870's have 512MB of ram, there are
1GB models out there however...
Meanwhile _all_ the 4870X2's have 1GB of ram per GPU, for a lovely
warm fuzzy 2GB total

Dunno cheap or faster but main advantage of X2's is there's only a
single slot's space & bus lines tied up. This leaves room later for
a second X2 down the road.

Excellent read, thanks for the link. Seems to me they give the nod to
the 4870 in the end. I could probably infer the 4870X2 would rock
also. I now have to consider would it be better (it would be cheaper)
to do two 4870's or just do the 4870X2? Hmmmmmmm
I have to say I am excited to give ATI a spin...
