a Q9*** is going to bottleneck a 480. You would have to go i7 to get full use of that card. I forgot where i saw the artical but they they did benchmarks to show diff cpus with the 5870 and the 480 and everything but the over clocked i5's and the i7's bottlenecked the cards. If i can find it i will post a link in this thread. Also make sure you have a 40 amp rail for those cards.

What about the six core Thubans? The top model Turbos to 3.6GHz.
