Hybrid Crossfire. So you dont have to buy 2 expensive 3870X2 to work in Crossfire.

Hmm doesn't make much sense. Don't the 3850/3870 bottleneck the 3870x2 at high load?

Here's something to read about Hybrid Crossfire. SLI is waste of money compared to Hybrid Crossfire

Seems interesting but nVidia will now have physix support on their cards. That's no match for AMD.

Depends on what games will use it. Games Like Call of Duty 4 wont use since dropping dead is programmed into the game but games like BF2, GRAW, Crysis/Far Cry will use it cuz of the Ragdoll physics.

Holy shit, 750w only for that 0.o, a 600 or even 550w will do.
definatly. 750 is a little overkill.  If you buy a good quality psu 550 or so would be plenty.  I have a 520 with an oc'ed quad and 8800gt and have plenty of juice left.

NVIDIA's CUDA is due for PhysX drivers. One more sad reason to blow off ATI.
