I was wondering if anyone tried to put in another 8800 GTX in there system with a power supply of 680 watts? I have heard depending on the maker of the PSU it is possible. I usually play games @ 2560X1600 and I have to turn some stuff off to get more FPS. At this resolution even my 8800 GTX seems to slow a bit. I am planning on getting 2 more gigs of the same ram today. Does anyone think the sequence of the ram will make a difference. Such as, 1st slot (512X2) 2nd slot (1GbX2) or vice versa? Here are my systems specs:

Intel C2D E6600 OC'ed to 3.0 Ghz, FSB 1333 (333X9) Vcore @ 1.35v
Asus P5N-E nForce 650i SLI Chipset
1GB Corsair XMS2 Xtreme Memory PC6400 DDR2, Timings @ 5-5-5-15 T2
EVGA Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB PCI-E
320GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache HDD
