I'm getting ready to build a new system. I'm using an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
m/b and an Athlon 64 3700+, 1 gb mem. Which is a better combination for
the money - 2 6600gt's in SLI or one 6800gt? The price for two
6600gt's seems to pretty close to one 6800gt. I'm not a heavy gamer but I
want decent video when I do play.

THanks,
BR

Why don't you buy slower processor like 3500 and save some money and buy
7800gt not gtx ? But for your question the 6800gt definately !

A 6800GT. SLI has some real serious issues and only works on a select
number of games.

Thanks for the ideas/opinions. I think I will drop back to a 3500+, get an
eVGA 6800gt, and an LCD monitor.
