oh man im so tempted becuase i have Gears of War on the way and my 7900gs probably wont cut it.

but i think ill wait till after xmas and see whats out then.

does the 3850 and 3870 have the same core?

so if there is a 512mb 3850 version wouldnt that be the way to go?
because single slot cooler i think is better.

it will be interesting to see when they come out with new cataylst drivers how well they will preform.
