Taking the SLI Plunge – Part 2 @ Virtual-Hideout

I currently am not running SLI on my main system, during reviews SLI has always been a centerpiece of the system. The thing is I wanted to adopt to SLI early on instead of waiting for the technology to mature. So 2x Chaintech 6600GTs were purchased and the wait for an SLI motherboard was on.. Several months later the wait was still on until the DFI SLI-DR review. All this time I've been gaming on an XFX 5700 Ultra and when I get a chance to break out a dually 6600GT I'm all over it.
" Maybe the problem is I already had an Nvidia 7800GT, which I just bought and was a hair off the top of the line graphics card on the market, and then bought another 'exact match' 7800GT. So that's like going from a Mustang GT to a supercharged Mustang GT. Keep in mind, they look the same."
Its all in how you look at it, the Virtual Hideout people already have a top of the line video card so adding another one won't really tickle their tea bags (or fun bags if they happen to be so equipped) but moving from a 5700 Ultra to 2x 6600GTs is a night and day difference.
