To bring this up just once more due to a few considerations a friend of mine mentioned. If you ignore the 200 max budget (since i'm pushing this back, i'll have more resources) is the 8800GT card still one to go for, perhaps with SLI, of is there a better card out there? It seems that, unless you go for really high end 9 series, most of the 9 series is outdone by the high-end 8 series. Should i just aim for the high-end 8 series, unless i can possibly get a really, really high end 9 series?
Also, since i'm not quite sure can you (and should you) place two SLI cards together if they aren't the same? For example, a 9600gt and a 8800gt?
Thanks
