does your motherboard have PCI-e 2.0 slots? they will still work on the older architecture, but you won't be harnessing their full potential. If you don't have a 2.0 board, check out the x38's. They've been getting some good reviews.
I have heard that the 9600GT by itself isn't better than the 8600GT, but I'm sure that with two of them, it should be blazing. And you can't beat the price. I was looking at them the other day, and I was tempted, but my mobo is doesn't have PCI-e 2.0, so I'll just wait a while until I'm working steady and then upgrade everything.

Don't worry RapisT, even the latest cards don't fully saturate a 8x PCI slot, let alone 16x so 2.0 is kinda just a gimmick atm.
The 9600's slot somewhere just below the GT. I know someone who has 2. Previously had an ultra and their 3dmark06 score from the 9600's beats an ultra.

Looks like things are really starting to pick up with the computer industry. I'm having trouble keeping up with everything, lol. It will be interesting to see whats on the market when I'm ready to build again. Probably next year.

You must runa Hella low resolution to get 55FPS.. what 800X600? even at 1600X1200 which isnt high by todays standards, the dual 9600 setup only acheives 30fps. www.firingsquad.com/hardware/geforce_9600_gt_sli_performance/page9.aspLooks like things are really starting to pick up with the computer industry.
