Brian

My options are ATI Radeon HD 5870 vs two ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB or one ATI Radeon HD 5770.

Or should I spend the money on RAM?

I would like the system to possible work with Resolve or Adobe's new SpeedGrade (which I do not know that much about).

Of course, I will be running two screens.

Thanks!
