C2D and SLI...looking for benchmarks

I think I am just going to bite the bullet and pick up an Asus P5W DH Deluxe with an E6700. I want it to be practically silent, so I'm thinking about going with a Reserator 2 to cool the CPU and Northbridge. For video cards, I was thinking the new XFX 7950GT that is passively cooled would give me pretty kickass performance (better than a single 7950GX2) plus be totally silent. What I would like to know, is anyone running SLI on a 975X mobo using the hacked drivers that are floating around? I'd like to see some benchmarks at higher resolutions with AA and AF enabled with one card and then with SLI. Anyone have any links, or can do some tests? I'd just like to know if I'm gonna get any decent performance increases. I want to at least run the last generation of games (Doom 3, Half-Life 2, FEAR, Far Cry, etc) at 1920x1200 with 4xAA and 8xAF enabled.
 
Actually, I would like to see some also.. I saw some bad scores over at XS, adding the 2nd card and enabling SLI yeilded almost no performance increase... maybe 20% or so.. I was hoping to see some reports from more peeps with SLI on a C2D system over here... anyone? anyone? Bueller? ;)
