This is the card I have now:

EVGA 01G-P3-1280-AR GeForce GTX 280 1GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

1.Anyone know where I can buy another?
NewEgg only has a refurbished one.

2. Also, I see some with 1280-AR and 1280-TR.
What are the defferences in them?

3. Should I stick with the same brand name and specs as stated above with the one I have now?

4. Will my PSU hanlde the SLIed cards?

This is my current configuration:
Antec 900, ASUS P6T DELUXE, EVGA GTX280, SILVERSTONE|ST75F 750W MODULAR,CORE I7 920, Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D,WD Caviar Black 640GB, CoolerMaster V8

Thanks

I run my 22" screen at 1680x1050.

Should I do the SLI thing or wait until the next release of a Nividia card?

Well tahnks all for the info.

After all this it looks like my PSU wont have enough PCI-e cables.

Each card needs one 6 pin PCI-E connector and one 8 pin; the ST75F has no 8 pin PCI-E connectors.

My EVGA GTX280 came with an adapter to combine two 6 pin PCI-E cables into one 8 pin output. I suppose that would work, but I'd need six 6 pin PCI-E cables, while I have only 4.

Anyone see a way around this?
