sorry if it confused you... i was just trying to say that quad cards are too much and not cost effective... they won't last long with always evolving technology...

Praetor made it clear (if you read the article) that one current generation card will be better and more cost effective than 2 or more cards... most people who want 2 or more video cards need the power and already have what they want picked out... i was trying to say that unless you really need them... don't get them... even for gaming, one of the top-end cards will suffice... atleast for now, then you can always upgrade later on...

you have to realize that the:
cost of those cards + the fact that before you buy them, they are out of date = waste of money...
i guess if it's worth it to you to buy 4X the outdated material, go for it...

for simplicity's sake... what are you using the computer for? if you tell us we can recommend a cheaper setup i'm sure...

(by the way - i deleted my first post because i believe it wasn't needed anymore...)
