SLI or Not?

[Scicle]

I was wondering what would perform better, two evga 8600gt 256mb cards in SLI or one 9600gt 512 card?

One 9600GT would be better. For SLI you want at least an 8800GS or 9600GT level card (or higher) If two of those are out of budget, Don't bother with two 8600 series, just grab a single card within budget. (8800GT, 8800GTS 512MB, 9800GTX, HD4850, etc.)
