A bit of an update. Actually the stream is better than in the thick of it. The HD 4870 is a real ball buster on rc5 and for the price there is nothing else on the market that will touch it in performance. So AMD finally has a real winner on it's hands. So it stands to reason that if it is such a hot performer on rc5 it's going to do the same on other projects too. So it's good to see AMD getting back into some serious competition again.

Now I just gotta find a place that isn't out of stock...................
