So, from another thread, this system seems to be a steal, and the info jsut changes to make it better:
I want to track this system and see how it turns out...I've persononally gone to futureshop, and the systems DO NOT HAVE 2 CARDS INSIDE.
Even with just 1 card, this system is decently priced...but the potential to argue with the store staff to get your second card was just made sweeter when they updated the product page to reflect that it could only have either 2x4870 1gb, or a 4870x2...
I think I'm gonna buy one...just gotta get the cash together...
hey dude, check this out. This might interest someone like you

And you have FS and gateway backing it
oh yeah and a 1tb hd too
Naysayers might critic the 500w psu, but its gateway, and they should back you up should anything happen to it Or you can just use the 1200 you save a buy a nice new psu lol

:haha:They updated the website, but in true Futureshop fashion they now indicate that the rig has and I quote "dual ATI HD4870 graphics cards with 2GB total dedicated video memory". Should be definitely worth the fight for either a second card or the upgrade to the HD 4870 X2 (2GB of Ram).
