I wouldn't buy that overpriced 9800gx2. Nvidia is just trying to steal from you.

Why don't you SLI two 8800gts?

well i think i am going to stay with the 9800 gtx because it is almost as powerful as 2 8800gts 512 and its running on really prematare drivers i expect performance to rise as the drivers age
