Noobie sli questions

[lokiguesty]

Hi all

basically i have a 8800GTS 512mb (the older one i think its a dif size GPU 80mm or somthing?)

anyway im looking at doing sli. what im wondering is

A) will i still be able to duel screen the way i do now

and

B) other than the two gfx cards do i need anything else? special connectors or anything like that?

thanks for any info

ah right

in that case its a 640mb GTS as i know its the older version.

my psu should be up to it as i have the 640watt corsiair (i think its 640watt rated)

motherboard is a gigabyte d96 ds3p i think tho im not great with motherboards it certainly has 2x pci-e slots.

tbh if i cant run more than one monitor then i probably wont bother as i've got quite attached to my duel screen set up

thanks for the advise

lol that could be a problem i guess.

maybe i could ditch my 8800 and look at ati not that i know anything about their cards or about how good crossfire is,

good call loadsa perhaps one of the x2 cards could be the answer im looking for.

any idea on the eta of the 4870? is if im going to upgrade i may as well get the best i can at the time so i dont need an upgrade again for a while.

cheers
