Scalable Link Interface
Dual video cards linked together to work as one. You need a SLI compatible mb and two SLI video cards.
All this is making want to upgrade my computer.
Which means taking away from the Supra:cry:
Maybe Ill just go max my best buy card tommorow.
BTW: with Nvidea's SLI do you need a board compatible with it like you do ATI's crossfire?

yup. I has two pci-e video card connectors. I think there were AGP SLI cards and mb's but that is pretty much outdated now. All the best cards are going to be pci express now.
which cheap case do you guy's like?

Only 2 of those you picked had power supplies with them. your favorite is the best of the 2 IMO with the 350W.

To me the case is just a box. Some have better cooling then others but the power supply is more important then the case IMHO. I have a 600w supply in mine. The AMD cpu and 7000 series Nvidia cards are going to need a well regulated high wattage power supply. 300w will not cut it anymore. Some people want the case to be all flashy but mine is just something under the desk.
ATI 1900X, Ive got a 1600X and play BF2 on all the highest settings.
the 1900 seemed very comparible to the Nvidia 7900GTX. I still would got the GTX if I wasnt on a budget just bescause of the name lol.

is the 1600x good enough for most(if not all) games? How does it compare to this one(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814130284)?
Edit: I'm ready to hit the order button really soon, so if you could help me out with the vid card real quick, that would be awsome....
I like that one clueless. EVGA has great support and look at that memory clock! Jeebus! I give it a thumbs up!
Clueless said:
Don't get sucked in to the ATI like I did, I have a x800xl sitting here collecting dust. Nvidia driver support is so much better.

...to be my vid card.
Here's for that 7600gt:
System Requirements Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply.
Minimum 450 Watt for SLI mode system.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amps.)
See, I told you guys a 300w would not cut it anymore :icon_wink
The 12v amperage draw is crazy! 18 amps?!?!?! Thats 216w for the 12v output by itself.
