i just bought this card lately and it really runs so fast especially on Crysis, FallOut 3, Farcry 2 at very high settings without any issues. My board still has 3 vacant SLI slots since it is quad SLI, should I buy another 3 GX2's or GTX 295 to fill up the board? I got the cash already, i just need some tips or recommendations from you guys. Thanks a lot.

You are only able to run one more gx2 to make quad sli. Each card has sli internal and 2 cards makes 4 gpu's sli'd

You can only SLI 2 9800 gx2 which makes it 4 GPU running on your computer.

Lolz, if you want all out performance burn the GX2 and put in an order for Three EVGA GTX 285's, that is the fastest setup in the world and would just love a 30" lcd to be plugged into it =D

Don't get another GX2 unless you can get it for really cheap. (ie~$200 or less)
The GX2 is no longer supported since it's out of production, and the GX2 Quad SLi has a lot of bugs/issues...so get another at your own risk
