SLI

[blasterfreak88]

So I think I am ready to buy another GTX 260 to go SLI with but I just have a quick question regarding this jump. I am currently running windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and id I go SLI will this cause me to only have a little over 2 GB of RAM left to use for processes? Should I also buy windows 7 64 bit to go with the sli jump?

You should already be using 64 bit. Your 4gb of RAM alone is already over 32 bit's limit. You definitely want to go 64 bit.

Yha, you really need 64bit... I think in XP I dropped to 3Gig of ram when I used it with my 2 cards.

Well I took the plunge and bought another gtx 260 to go sli with. I will have to wait a couple of weeks before I switch to 64 bit though cause I am a little short on cash till I get my next pay check. I did pick the 2nd card which is a evga for only 125.01 on ebay tonight outbidding someone by a single penny. so now I have less than 270$ into my two gtx 260 sli. I will just have to limp on the ram issue for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the help.
