Which wins in performance? The 8800gt or 2 Radeonx1650s?

The 8800gt by far. As a rule of thumb, two medium end card In SLI/CF (lower end in this case) will not beat a single high end card.

yea because, i think, in SLI, instead of having a 200% power. You would jusst get 150% or just %50 more than a regular card.

That's the basis, but with more inconsistent performance numbers. Some games will see a large boost (<80%) from two parallel cards, others will see will see smaller boosts; some games may even show no impact at all or a negative impact. Overall a very erratic behavior.

9600GT has a boost of around 80% average if I am correct. 8800GT is lower then that... But still 8800GT's SLI will beat 9600GT SLI because of raw power.
