Im looking at running dual gfx cards. i was intending to do it on two 8800 GT 512 GFX cards,

i am aware that they have to be the same card, Does this mean 2 x 8800gt 512 and same manufacturer or can t be a different manufactured card?

Its way to early to be up and considering this kind of thing with a hang over. but work wouldnt let me off and im bored

I know the 8 series is out dated. i was just wanting to see the benefits of it before i go yeehaa and buy a realy decent set of cards.

If i have to buy a new card what would you recomend. i want to spend between 100-200 each.

Cheers. id rather know before i do go buy and waste money. what kind of resolution would benefit from sli?

my current mobo doesnt have great scope for ram upgrades as the highest frequency is rubbish, im looing to go for 4gb of the best ddr2 ram ie 1066mhz and the possobillity to go sli if i want. im going to be running 2 monitors from the one gfx just now but like the ide of Sli.

The only reason i want two monitors is so i can concentrate on one thing on one and rubbish on the other

If i was to upgrade what would you ladels n jelly spoons recomendas i say i currently use a 8800GT 512mb gfx. as there now old what would be the best for my monitor and playing such like games as Crysis

So what are the differences with ATI and Nvidia, with out being a total window licker here. i apprechiate there totaly different manufacturers.

Is it simply a case of the Intel AMD scenario or is there evidence that one out ballances the other.

Current Spec. Q6600 2.4Ghz Slacr Quad core, Elite Group 8800GT 512MB GFX, MSI S775 Intel G31 DDR2 MATX Audio Lan mobo.

Budget 2gb Corsair 553 RAM, samsung 320gb F1 Spin point HDD. 120gb WD HDD.

Soon to have a new mobo best DDR2 ram and water cooled.
