About dual video-cards: They are available already: Geforce 6600 GT has SLI. Combine this with an nForce 4 chipset and you can couple two cards. Great stuff and this will certainly improve performance, since you have 2 GPU and 2x16 PCI-e lanes to pump 'em full of graphical data...

Where are you getting your 2GPU compliant motherboard?

Also there is yet no motherboard with 2X16 PCI-e slots. One is 16X the other will be either 1X or 4X but the performance boost is still around 60% for a midrange card.

exactly. there no such thingy yet. give it til the end of the year. No rush yet. If you want to go waste tons of mulah for a menial increase, have at it, but I'll wait using the refines of the proven method and ease into it when all the kinks are ironed out. Sides, I haven't heard much support on the gaming programmers side, so there's that as well. Never see any games come out saying they use hyperthreading either... or if there was a way to tell I dunno...

And sure you need two cards that are the same. But then, if your investing, do it right  Hardware prices are always on the decline so waiting will always pay off, unless you want the top-of-the-edge stuff... If you check the specs on the ASUS-board above, you'll see: Quote:
 Hubba hubba... only this board 'll cost you at least EUR 149... but it's well worth it with the firewire, RAID, 1 Gbit LAN and onboard 8-channel audio... if I had the mony right now... I'd certainly buy it!Disclaimer: I'm not associated with ASUS in any way  |

It is a sweet board but you need a monster of a power supply to make it all work. If you have the money to throw around and don't mind having a price performance quotient that is out of wack you could go for it. I prefer to spend a lot less for something that is marginally less powerfull.
