I found a cheap SLI motherboard so the idea is to at first run with the 6600GT and when i need to just go out and buy anothere (nice thing is price will have probly droped agin.)
main idea is not haveing to throw down alot o cash right away but spend a little and get a system that runs well then when need drop a few more nickels and get a nice upgrade.
I hope i understand the whole SLI thing right. =P or this idea shot to hell. any who here's the build.
