It's proberly SLI. As for the spec, it looks fine but I fail to believe that your current spec can't run games on MAX with a decent frame rate.

Yes id run them in sli and use the orignal watercooling setup that i have allready got as it is decent. I try to run games full but sum jump because i run them on full res (1920x1200 Dell 24"). My graphic cards are limited because they have 256 memory.

If i upgrade to 8800 series then i have to upgrade everything as i dont have pcie x16 on my mobo. And i canot buy the other dfi mobo with pcie x16 because it can only run crossfire cards.
