true, but there are also other PSUs available that will have enough juice to run your system within the ATX power specs. It seems with PSUs now...
well, the 3870x2 can use up to 20 amps @ full load so your PSU is still inadequate. I suggest you check out the approved PSU list for a x2 here.
I got a very substantial FPS increase in both COD4 and Stalker, so much so that I was able to increase the resolution in both games from 1680x1050...

well I used to get 4800 give or take a few points on and xp 2500+ and a 9700pro in 3dmark2003 so I don't think it is too much of a stretch to...
My Built By ATI X800 Pro non-VIVO would idle between 48-50c and hit loads of 70c so I removed the stock HSF and cleaned the core and applied AS5...
