I'm looking at upgrading next week, with the ASUS A8N SLI mb and nvidia
6600 GT PCI express video. Has anyone used these, what's the verdict?

Unless you're doing widescreen it's not worth it. Get the 6800
Ultra with an AGP interface and it shold perform almost as
well. Wait three months and watch the prices plumett on those
cards BTW. Nvidia is releasing its new line shortly.

Thanks. You probly right, but more than double the price I cannot
afford. AGP is the past, PCI Express and SLI seem to be the future, so
I'm happy with that. And I've waited long enough, I'm getting this
thing NOW!

ASUS - bad.
SLI- superfluous.
