Now i cant decide bw the 2 of them.. i pefer the msi... but i cant fine the 260gtx's benchmarks anywhere... so if someone can tell me that Asus wud be faster as compared to the Msi or not it wud be helpful. The radeon 4850 is fast and gives around 40+ fps in crysis on high settings 1024X768 res....

So plz some one help me :s

seems pretty obvios to me at least I'm forgetting something...

Go with Asus, has better IGP and cost less, the C2D is just fine for today games, if the price of the MSI wasn't too much then +800MHz boost in the CPU will be a nice feature, also the 4850 is a nice VGA, but for $999 go with Asus.
