Need some help picking my next card

Well, like I said in an earlier thread.. my 4870x2 died on me... and I doubt it's going to be accepted as a warrenty case....

Soooo:

So, my dilemma is, what to do? Of the cards out on the market right now 4870x2 is the most tempting one. Shure I could get the 295, but I'm with the red tide so I'm going AMD/ATi... but what to do? Get another 4870x2 or get a 4870 until I get a final word from the supplier about the RMA case... and than Trifire if the card get's accepted... but at the high risk of it beeing rejected.. what to do then? Another 4870 in CF wouldn't preform as well as a 4870x2 in most cases, and would cost be a little more.. but at least then I won't throw away that much money if the RMA case get's accepted - and I thought of perhaps trifire anyways so then I'll get to do that.. but it's a 4870x2 I really want... but also, how far away should the next gen x2's be? Cause I'm going to kill myself if I get a new 4870x2 now and then to get the news that in two months the next set of x2's are comming..

Let's say I get the 4870x2 and in 6 months the next gen x2's are hitting the market... how much do you think I could get from my x2 in comparison to how much I'll have to give for it?
And yeah.. this is Norway... so selling it here on OCN or something won't be an option given that here the card costs like $600... Like a $130 more than overseas... sweet ha? So hopefully the RMA get's accepted.. or at least they offer to fix the card against some payment.. I'd gladly spend some bucks on a repair if it meant that I'd save money in comparison to $600...

If there would at least excisted a release date for the next series of x2's I'd might get myself a middle class card while I wait... but since there aren't any news on that matter I won't hold my breath for to long..

If I order an 4870x2 now.. and don't use it until I know if my card gets accepted or rejected.. I could just return it within 14 days for a full money return.. the card is starting to get sold out.. and don't look like all the suppliers is getting it back in.. could it be because next gen is around the corner?

Anyways.. lol... need some advice here.. thinking about order another card today... it takes like 4 days for it to get in stock at the supplier also.. don't want to stay without a card for to long.. lol.. hate not having my baby around..
