    The "if money is no object" gaming card, cool. I'd personally say it's way overpriced but 2 in SLI would kick so much butt it wouldn't even be funny.

    The 9600 isn't bad at all. That was the card I was originally looking at. Sure beats my old Trident Blade w/ a whopping 8 MB's of vram. Black and White never looked worse. My cow was a jagged mass of dull textures and the villagers' feet were muddy triangles...

    The performance increase of a SLI config now doesn't justify the insane amount of money needed to buy the hardware, like you said. Perhaps 10% performance is gained.

    No game is coded to take advantage, so there's no real point. Not yet.

    Wait til the next generation of games come out, then you'll be wanting them fo' sho.

    Ah, I see. Matttibb has a GeForce 4MX 440 (which is still a functional card). I have a friend who has the same card and somehow manages to get Doom 3 running at about 30 fps.
