With a HD 4890 you should get 4xAA-8xAA for free with a lot higher minimum and average fps. I'd seriosly consider picking up a factory oc'ed HD 4890 versions if you're going to Crossfire or Trifire because OC'ing cards in Crossfire is a lot harder versus single cards by themselves.

NP, youre welcome. Also since you're going to be upgrading in August I'd get a bigger monitor and wait on the gpus. DX11 cards should be here Q1 2010 and they should give a huge boost in performance in all games, especially Crysis.

I guess I will just get 2 and get a 24 inch monitor instead.

I would say wait for DX11 cards because your current setup is good enough for now.
