    but, for the price is logic that use 8600m GT.

    think that sli5 would be nice option :)

    At that price, it would be better to find a SLi1 on clearance for $1500-$1700 and get the T9300 in yourself.

    To be honest i haven't found any game (released within the last 2 years) that doesn't show me a very important increase in performance with sli enabled VS sli disabled (im talking of, at least, 40% more)... This is the list of games that i have played: Crysis, Bioshock, Gears of War, COD4, Need For Speed ProStreet, Dirt, Timeshift, Age Of Empire 3 (with the expansions), UT3, World in Conflict, Simcity Societies, The Sims 2 (with all the expansions), Fifa 07 & 08, FarCry, NBA Live 07&08, Warcraft 3, CS 1.6, MADDEN 08... Soon to test Assasin's Creed...

    Now, i know that the 8800 is better than 2 8600, but i still think that the 8600 Sli is a very powerfull setup...

    Jose - You are right I saw a nice increase in performance from single card to sli both on my sli1 and also on my new XPS M1730 laptops, so sli does make a difference in most games. My son is now using the sli1 laptop (I don't want to sell it since it is a very good laptop!!!) and it runs most new games very fast and smoothly. :D :D

    only game i've seen support D-SLi is Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. although enabling the option in Windows doesn't enable the option in game. i haven't found a single game that doesn't grind to a stand-still and blue screen eventually while playing in D-SLi mode.

    Man something gotta be wrong with your drivers or something else because i never get Blue Screen or any other type of error with the games i listed above and SLI enabled... In fact, like i said, what i get is a impressive increase in performance with SLI Enabled... So check your drivers ;)
