CF 5770 vs Single 5850

The Ram is about $112 per 4 GB, the difference between the 5770 and 5850 is about $140. Where would I best spend the differences for performance?

CF 5770 vs Single 5850

I have been running 8GB of RAM for a few years, just seems normal to continue running that much. At one time I did a lot of music/photo editing that used it. I don't do that as much now, so maybe I should scale it down. I don't want to lose performance, and I wasn't sure how it would impact...

CF 5770 vs Single 5850

Yeah the more I read the more I thought that may be a good option. Not sure my current PSU could do CF 5850 but that is down the road anyway. I usually build a strong system then evolve them over time, only doing a truly new build once I have exhausted all of my realistic/economical upgrade...

Earthwatt 650

Yeah I didn't really plan on using this board for Crossfire, I wasn't really looking at Crossfire as an option until I read the March Round-up on Tom's Hardware for video cards. I had already pretty much settled on running a single 5850. But the writeup indicates that for a similar cost you...
