On average the quad-gpu Radeon solution is definitely quite a bit slower. Xbit used a rather bizarre assortment of games to reach those results. If you take a look at the two reviews from hardocp and pcperspective, the title of "fastest quad-gpu setup" goes to nVidia. This comes as no surprise given that nVidia dominates the single and dual gpu configurations of the same underlying technology (i.e. G92 is quite a bit faster than RV670).
"Two Radeon HD 3870 X2 cards will cost you less than two GeForce 9800 GX2 cards. However, they will not provide a better experience, except perhaps in Call of Duty 4. Call of Duty 4 was the only game where CrossFireX really shined."
Here's how to use javascript but still get a normal mailto: link in the browser and in the statusbar.
Change all your email addresses to some form of human readable nonsense, i.e. "user AT whatever DOT com". You can add a bunch of extra characters and html tags if you want.
Write some javascript that runs when any given page loads, accesses the DOM and changes all the human readable nonsense to a nice pretty mailto link.
This way, anyone with a javascript enabled browser gets a regular link that shows up properly in the statusbar, and anyone without javascript can still at least read the address.
As far as I know, this is the cleanest way to get the job done.
I am a close personal friend of Aaron Wall and I have talked with him at length about this lawsuit. These trafficpower.com people are just complete scum trying to scare people into deleting negative comments about them.
If you do a quick search in google for traffic power, you'll note that the entire first page of results is all about how shady their business practices are. All their clients sites have been banned from google. Their standard operating procedures include cold-calling people, plagiarizing other sites, and they've even created fake forums to try to get back at the people that have tried to expose them.
Traffic Power has made a lot of money using aggressive business tactics to feeds on small business owners who don't know any better. They're currently in bad standing with the better business bureau, and several child companies they've created under new names are now under investigation.

When asked to comment on the acquisition and its impact on ATi's chipset sales, nVidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was quoted as saying "hahaha PWNED".
it's just a glitch, I'm still toying around with the cms...the database portion is as up to date as one college student can keep it...:)
