3. Getting SLI seems like a good upgrade path but by the time I upgrade, won't there be dirt cheap cards around that beat my SLI'd 6600s into the ground?
4. Will my 7200rpm 2mb IBM Hard Disk do a new system justice or will I need to go SATA?

1. the sqstem you're looking at will be quite a lot faster than your current rig, it'll make
any game available now absolutely fly, and probably any for the next year or so. The cpu isnt that much more powerful, but an x800 or GF6800 is a big step up in terms of performance.
2. i don't know of any upcoming major price drops. perhaps a little when the dual core hit the shops...
3. unless you want SLI now, i wouldn't bother. as you say, better cards will turn up in the meantime.
4. sata will make no difference, that hdd should be fine.
