gtx 260 would mean ud have to spend... almost 500$...vs... getting dual 9600gt for... less than 200.... and even less than 180 in most cases..

does no one care about my post? lol ... does anybody not notice that the 9600gt sli beats the 4870s and the 9800gx2...

He could've went SLI w/ the 9600gt's, but when he yearns for more performance, instead of spending another 300 bucks next time he wants a big boost, he'll already have that 9800gtx+ to pair w/ another which would stomp all over the 9600's .
