whe3ls: I'm planning on doing this after Phenom II comes out and I upgrade, so like.. in a couple weeks or so lol

Nothing slows down, mem amount would be reduced if you were mixing different mem sized cards.

i think your best bet would be with a single X2

I can't get an x2, they cost too much. Dual 4850's will do the job just fine.

I would have to agree with grunion and get a 4850x2 and call it a day.
