let's discuss
no trying to detract from this topic...but this has been discussed pretty in depth right here:

It's pretty much settled. They're the most popular rads in europe as the price difference between the PA's and the runner ups, the Swiftie MCR's, aren't as big as they are over here in the US.
If you're in the US, you can make a case for using Swiftech's rads for price/performance reasons. But if you're looking for sheer performance, nothing beats the PA's... except if you're in the US, you just have to pay a large import premium for it.
Nah, let's not.
agree 100%
Nothing is ever settled on this forum.
If we agree with you on this, will that create a paradox and cause the forum to implode?

Yes....
The topic was actually covered at it's best on this very forum between TN and Cathar back in 2005... see http://www.over-clock.com/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=21 (summary) & http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=935607 (source)

2 pass. Better cooling, more restriction.
1pass. Less cooling, less restriction. Barbs on opposite end, good for some cases.
Temp delta between employing a comparable single and double pass rad (let's say a single BIP or BIPXflow): ~15%.

Yesterday it was limited to 6-4-2007 and forward. Just did a search for Aqua Computer and it gave almost 1,000 hits going back to 2004. They ditched the standard vBulletin search software for something else and it really is much more efficient.
