Would I notice a difference in wow going from 2 8800 gts. to 1 single 4970 512 meg version??? maybe even the 1gb version...

Using q6600 cpu, 2g ddr 800 windows vista
 
I doubt it. Depends on how well SLI scales with WoW, really. If the scaling is efficient, two 8800GTSes would probably be faster than a single 4870. If it's inefficient, the 4870 would be faster. Either way, the gap would be small.
 
If you're looking for better frames in Dalaran, not gonna happen. All the VPU horsepower in the world won't help you there.

If all you play is WoW, the 4870 might be a good deal since they can be had cheap. As for the 4970 you speak of, my crystal ball is broken right now. :p
 
which version of 8800gts?

the old G80s might be too weak even on SLI. The G92 512MB is a pretty strong card, almost equal to a 8800GTX/9800GTX
