probly a stupid question, but here goes.

[Motokid250r]

heres my what my new Pc's spec are gonna be

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme 6800 2.9GHz

RAM - 2000 MB DDR II 800 Memory (Kingston HyperX)

Motherboard - ASUS Striker Extreme SLI nForce 680i Mother Board

Hard Drive 1 -Western Digital Raptor 150GB ( for the OS system )
Hard Drive 2 -Western Digital Raptor 400GB ( for general storage )

Gfx Card - ATI R600

( - heres a off topic question. How much Gfx Cards can that mobo have pluged into it? )

Now over the next 6 - 12 months new gfx cards better then the 8800 Gtx will come out. Now my plan is; instead of replacing my 8800GTX with a better gfx card ( when the time comes ) ill simply just...add another one and make my 8800GTX and the new gfx card SLI. So my question is. Can u inter - link or " SLI " two differnt Gfx cards?

... thanks guys

no, sorry. two of the same core only.

wait till later this month and buy ATI's R600 or whatever Nvidia plans to oust their release with a steroid version of the 8800GTX

SO i cant add the ATI R600 to my mobo right along side of my 8800GTX ?

 

[jimmymac]

nope, for a start nvidia use SLI whereas ATi uses Crossfire

but as stated before they need to be the same GPU core to be run together

 

[Motokid250r]

O well, then seing as i didnt yet put an order for the pc u see above ill change it to the R600. When does it come out? i herd Jan 22nd? is this true?
