And it better be spaghetti!

Dont bother with the 4830, get the drive then save up for something more meaty, a 4830 will MATCH the performance of your dual 3870's, so you have in essence taken a £70 side step.

Get the drive then save up for a 2 series nvidia / 4+ series ATI card.

I look at the 4830 as something that leaves my system with more space, and once OCd better performance than a mildly OCd 4850, so its not terrible. Gah.. wish I had enough spare cash for both.

I'm betting Ket already went with the "flashy" video card upgrade, and is looking for redemption. :P

Its still a money spent side step.

GET THE DAMN HARDDRIVE YOU WOMAN!
