Looks good to me ...... I've got the Asus V9999 GeForce 6800GT 128 and that's damn good, so this looks awesome :D

I personally wouldn't buy it, the 6600GT even running with dual cores is still way WAY slower than a 6800GT and from the benchmarks here http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/185/10/ only marginally faster than a single cored 6600.

You're FAR better off buying this:

and this

Asus A8N-SLi nForce4 SLi - £99.82 inc. (OcUK)

is it worth going for a duel card system at all? Ive seen some pretty good evidence that you get about 70% increased through put. The evesham machine with two 6800GT's looks good.

You're looking at between 30-70% dependent on the game, if you do go the SLI route you need to make sure your processor doesn't become the bottleneck though otherwise you'd just be wasting that extra £300.

No he shouldn't, if you're going to offer people advice at least do some research on it first.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gary - the 4000 is a good choice, over £200 cheaper than the FX55 and for gaming it benchmarks only just under, more details here:

You can get the 4000 for £358 inc. and the FX55 for £587 inc (and that's if you can find it in stock)
