    1) call Dell
    2) Order both cards for about $650
    3)wait for a few days
    4)dell cancels order
    5)you wait for 7-10 days for a refund

    i ordered them 2 times and the same thing happened. the best thing is to find a system with them in it, but the difference in performance isnt noticeable in game IMo over the 4870 xfire, unless your playing something super resource heavy.
