Isn't this like the 'AMD or Intel' argument ?

From my point of view whatever pumps out the most polygons for the least power expenditure (ie read cooling and fan noise) for the least ££'s get's my vote.

Yeh, but unlike the "AMD over Intel" arguement, this one is more difficult to say either way. Im only saying SLi as im a nvidia person!

Well, again no benchies...but as I am an ATI bod, I do prefer ATI, so crossfire for me (if I win the lottery)  ;)

but in saying this.....I use what I can afford and with pc technology changing everyday, its a waste of time,money etc....take AMD 64bit cpu's, just upgraded to a AMD 64 4000 and low an behold its now "basic", for we have dual core and I will bet any money, AMD will introduce a "new" cpu before the year is out  >:(

Its the same with graphics....who on earth can afford to keep up with it  ???
