ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 should be listed, don't u think?

Sorry to comment on it but only the names of the cards don't give much information... The information about amount of RAM and the speed of the chip and the RAM memory should be noted too. I know this because i'm putting together a pc myself and really, just the name doesn't say enough.

The price differences can be huge too! Like i've got one ATI Radeon HD2600 XT card for € 69,-(let's say 256 MB DDR2 800Mhz) and there's another which has the same name but costs € 149,-(which has 512 MB GDDR3 1600 MHz for example)! The speed/amount of RAM really makes a big difference.

But as dock mentioned you should refer to product reviews of your EXACT product :) Those are way better.

Edit: As i took a better look at the page i found this, not really easy to get your data from but it has all of the things i mentioned ;)
