    Guys i'm building a new Core 2 Duo rig (E6600) and my firend has 2 x 7800gtx's for sale + sli connector for 200.

    I was thinking of buying them, is 200 good for 2 of these ??

    Thanks,
    Barry.

    200 is an ok deal for those, but from what I've read a single 8800GTS 320MB would beat dual 7800GTX in SLI. I would say save another 50 euro and buy the 8800 on ebay instead.

    I would be inclined to agree.

    SLi makes sense if you already own a card and find another cheap. The 8800 GTS 320 is a good card and will be somewhat futureproof with its Directx10 capability should you decide to go to Vista.

    Although take into account that there is a possibility that it may not actually be able to play DX10 games at a decent speed.
