Yeah, me too, looks awesome, although I don’t think i’ll be able to SLI it up with my 7600…
Anyways, better have one 8600 GTS than only one 7600 GT.

I would personally get another 7600GT and SLI it if your mobo support it, better for the cash flow you know :)

I know for sure 9200se 8X AGP works on 4X slot since i used to have 1 4X AGP board running it. but bet is to upgrade, a new machine might do you more good

Bought myself a new crosshair motherboard with AMD 2x 3.0 Ghz with 2 Nvidia 8600 Gts cards in it, 2 Gb ram and is awsome, plays any game i want in highest quality.
