and also the cache what does the 2x4 mean two seprate caches per processor or just one 8 meg cache

final thought is the 1.66 extra processor speed worth the more than the difference between the 8600 gt and the 8800 gt also the dell with the 8800 gt card is 100 dollars cheaper

I want to get alot of feedback on this

thanks

If you let us know the prices, you'll get more feedback. We can let you know if it's worth it to buy one over the other or either one.
It may be better for you to build your own, depending on the price.
