Thanks Transisto.  That looks very useful.

I have another question.  Are there any special requirements in terms of a power supply for running the 5970?
FWIW I'm running a single 5970 @ 905/200/1.149v and getting about 824-828 MH/s out of it.  This is with an AMD Athlon II 255 @ 3.5GHz (overclocked for gaming).  According to my Kill-O-Watt meter, I'm drawing about 460-480W at the wall with this setup, so gauge your PSU needs accordingly.  I have a Corsair AX1200 so no worries here, and I'd highly recommend this unit to accommodate for future growth.  If not, then maybe an AX850.
