Thats a big dent into price vs performance.

Ok sli motherboard can be had for 65 euro, 2 8800gt can be had for 220 euro or 2 9800gtx+ for 350 euro when released

x48 will cost 160 euro mimimum, 2 HD4850 300 euro ( €185 more than 8800gt sli combo ), sli seems to have better consistency and support, while 8800gt sli is very near HD4850 crossfire performance

Not a fan boy, just pointing out

Yeah but a decent nforce board that has high end features and can overclock will cost upwards of £220 here (yeah i'm talking about 790i as it's the only decent nforce chipset bar the 750i imo).
