This is my current system: [b]Motherboard:[/b]Gigabyte EP35-DS3L [b]Processor:[/b]Intel Core 2 Quad 8200 [b]Memory:[/b] 6GB A-DATA DDR2 [b]Hard Drive:[/b]120GB OCZ Vertex SSD [b]Video Card:[/b]9600GT 512MB [b]Operating System:[/b]Windows 7 Build 7100 [b]Sound Card:[/b]Built in 5.1 [b]Power Supply:[/b]Macron 400W [b]Cooling:[/b]Nothing special [b]Monitor:[/b]LG Flatron L1940BQ and Flatron L1730B running together. The Upragdes [b]Screen:[/b]BenQ 2420HD - $269 [url]http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12310[/url] I was thinking of getting the BenQ G2420HD for this, it's on sale for $269 AUD down from $299. [b]Specs and Picture:[/b] [img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/g2420hdb2221.jpg[/img] [b]Graphics Card:[/b]9600GT 1GB ECS - $103 I want to SLI both this and my current card so I can run three screens. Is this possible seeing as they are two different brands and different memory size? Will SLI work? [b]Picture:[/b] [img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/9600GT_P_5801.jpg[/img] [b]Motherboard:[/b] Still trying to find a good SLI board. Anyone got some good reccomendations for under $200?
I think if you sli those cards the 1GB card will be brought down to 512mb so they match.
[QUOTE=someguyihate;17548114]I think if you sli those cards the 1GB card will be brought down to 512mb so they match.[/QUOTE] Thanks for that. Only a $1 difference in the 512MB and 1GB though. I'll go read up more on SLI, should get a better idea. Forgot to add that my current 9600GT is made by Galaxy. Would I be able to setup 3 monitors on just SLI or would I have to do something different?
8 series quads are pretty bad, perhaps upgrade to a 9400?
The Q8200 is fine. A bit of overclocking wouldn't go amiss, though. The money spent on upgrading the CPU would be far better spent on a GPU upgrade.
The money you spend on a new mobo and gpu would be better spent on just one better gpu.

get anything other than elitegroup, look for as 4850 1gb or 4870 1gb
