Thanks for that kerbyross, I appreciate it.

It's strange that (Dual, XFire) 2x 1GB 4870's loses out to 1x 1GB GTX260?

For the i7 though, I will have to lower the RAM to 6GB, which I am not too happy about... maybe I must just stay with 8GB RAM anyway.

The CPU stats speak for themselves though... i7 is way in front.
