yeah, those 5748's love sp count.. kinda makes wish I had g92 8800gts's (128) or gtx260's (196 or216)... but then again I could do without the extra power consumption.... 9800gx2's really aren't that bad on power considering you get 2 clients with 128sp's each @ around 200w total.... that's about the same as a 105w 8800gt (112sp's) client. except I really dont like all the problem reports we've seen recently on the gx2's..
