is there any problems with SLI-ing non-identical video cards? i have a gtx 260 core 216 from evga, not overclocked...i want to add a BFG 260 core 216 OC maxcore factory overlocked for SLI goodness...will i run into problems? will it be slower because they're not the same pair, and one is not overclocked, and the other is?

Theoretically that should work. Having them at the same clock settings would probably help, but I'd think the Forceware drivers probably force them to equalize for SLI to work right?

Same chipset, so I'd think it would work.

i'm mixing and matching because the BFG maxcore is on sale for CHEAPER than the non-oveclocked evga core 216!
grrrrr
but i need to know that i won't run into any problems mixing and matching!!!

They will default to the speed of the slower card. But, you can simply overclock the stock card to the speed of the faster overclocked card.
No problem. Even at stock speed though, 2 of these in SLI is a formidable setup that will rock and roll.

sweet, that's what i like to hear!
:D 
i'm not too sure if i'm gonna take the plunge and splurge another 240 on it.
boxing day IS coming up!
