Comp upgrade

no i dont have two cards... i have one and will be adding what ever other gts i get to my old one

what is the point of sli?

from what i know sli takes 2 cards and gives the computer the impression you just have one "super" card

I.E. if i have a card with a clock speed of 500 and i add another card with 500 and sli both cards together it will give me a clock speed of 1000?

That wouldnt work. you need two of the same cards,

And it doesnt just turn it into one. They are two seperate cards still, sli is a waste of time really the scaling is rubbish so you only get a 20% increase in performance. The only half decent sli chipset is the nforce 7 which is fairly expensive compared to the intel p35/p45.

It would have to be the same card yes. You would get about a 20% boost in performance over your single gts.

If i was you i would sell it and get an ati 4850/4870

Not at all! :)

Also, what resolution do you play games at? Because that comes into the mix too.

and your 2.4 q6600 will give you 9.6ghz of processing power all the time....;)

sli and Xfire tend not scale well at all 2 graphics card aren't always twice as fast. as games and aplications have to be designed to work with sli / xfire
 
right ok, lets start from the top lol....

here is what il be getting...

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz Guaranteed to run at 3.00GHZ (1333FSB) - Retail
- £122.19

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz (to add to my other 2gig) - £30.54

which leaves me with about £200

what is the best Mobo And Graphics card i can get with that?

seeing as sli seems to be crap :P
