    Hey, I ordered all the parts the other day, supposed to arrive on Thursday:

    AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego core
    Asus A8N-E
    1GB (2x512MB) DDR400 Crucial Ballistix high performance RAM 2-2-2-6 (I get two dimms because my motherboard supports dual channel RAM, so this is actually faster than getting a single 1GB dimm)
    Hitachi 250GB 7200rpm SATA II harddrive
    ATI X800GT PCI-E video card
    Antec 400W Smartpower 2.0 power supply
    Thermaltake super duper copper blah blah blah fan and heatsink

    and I'm keeping my old case, my NEC DVD+-RW, the new motherboard has onboard LAN and onboard sound, so don't need those.

    Anyway, I am getting all of these upgrades for about $830 total after shipping and everything. Would be less if I sold the stuff I'm replacing, but I'm donating it to a friend in need.

    What do you guys think? I'm sure glad to finally be able to turn all of the settings to high on my games, lol.

    But ****, my friend will have the best deal, I'll be donating my Asus A7N8X motherboard, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, Sound Blaster Live! Value, AMD Athlon XP 2400+, and my power supply, so all she has to buy is a case, harddrive, an optical drive, keyboard and mouse, and that's it, she has a complete computer. She has a monitor already, so basically she's going to get an aged, but fairly decent, computer for less than $200...

    Dammit, how come I don't get helped this way? lol

    I understand what you're asking, but unfortunately I do not have experience with SLI cards. So I'm not sure what to tell you...

    My only SLI experience is with the old Monster 3d II's which I had in SLI and you are right they did have the connection to eachother.

    I just opened my case and my 6800 does, infact, have a connector on it. However my board does not support it
