    There have been a lot of posts on SLI for us types, but the questions I have are: Are you actually going to buy the second card? Have any already done so? If I remember correctly the $695.00 offer is for 6 months.

    I'm a coward. I'll wait to see how others make out with the upgrade, then buy if things go well.

    ^^^ Me too. But not for long. If I read that at least a few are very happy with it and say it's worth it ...I'm in. :)

    SLi is up and running with a 14k 3d mark with stock drivers from PCMW.

    Installation was easy and took about 30 mins. I do not notice any thermal increases runs like a champ!

    I would need to buy two of those. If that was not enough already in terms of cost I also need a motherboard upgrade. I think I'll wait for support on the next gen Intel CPU's. Then definitly an upgrade is coming for motherboard a whatever high end video card is available (eventually the CPU too)
