What should I buy? You vote today, I buy ...

8800gts or hd2900xt.I have a PSU that can power both. I do plan on getting the black/orange box when it comes out, so this would get me a free copy of that which is a big plus, but my main concern is getting the better gpu. I've seen recent benchies with the new patch that show that the hd2900xt is ahead, but this is my last stand. Please tell me what you guys think. Btw heat and noise aren't an issue.What should I buy?

I think the HD2900XT is shaping up to be like the X1800XT. Launch drivers were less than impressive, but with a bit of work, the HD2900XT should be able to take this round at the $400 price point.
Yeah, I was leaning towards the x2900xt... I think that's what I'll get, especially with those new benchies.
8800 FTW!
Well you see, here is the thing.I wanna get hl2 episode2 and all that basically saves me $40-$50 right off. However even if you look exclusively at the gpu (which I am), the new drivers bumped the hd2900xt pretty solidly above the 8800gts, and right on the heels of the 8800gtx. It does have massive heat and noise complaints, but I am willing to overlook that for better performance (loud speakers :) )
I vote for 8800GTS
