OP OP Chad711 Daemon Poster Messages 1,444 Location Irving, TX Nov 10, 2008 #141 matt I was asking about 4850 x2 not 4870 x2. Why isn't there any reviews of the 4850 x2 and why isn't there more of a selection?

A AP4LIFETN Daemon Poster Messages 1,009 Nov 13, 2008 #149 Definitely get the blue one, it has a better cooler. That might be the Toxic version i think
OP OP Chad711 Daemon Poster Messages 1,444 Location Irving, TX Nov 13, 2008 #150 cool. I finally decided to go with the 4870. If you look at my replies in this thread I think I changed my mind about 5 times! LOL This has been the hardest **** decision ever!
