Always check the VGA charts before making a new purchase. Generally speaking, NVidia's current generation *600 series is generally slower than the previous generation *800 or *900 series. I suggest you sell the 8600GT 512 and pick up an 8800GT 512.

2 x 128 bit in Sli mode = 128 bit. Go with Lord Gornak's suggestion and get a 8800 512 GT or GTS
