Well with certain cards even I start to find it attractice, seeing how you can already have a Crossfire 3870, or an X2 for less than €300, which really isn't much for the performance. It would just require a bit more research so that you don't end up with your fav game not supporting it.

In any case I'm also still having a hard time deciding whether to pick up an 3870 now, or one of the new cards in summer. The 3870 offers a great bang/buck, but but the new stuff just looks great as well. Then again, prices will be higher again and I'd probably prefer a console anyway.
