What kind of PSU and whats the rest of your system specs???
:confused:
 
Im Buyin this

AMD 64 3200+
MSI Neo4-F SLi
WD 80 Gb
PC 3200 1gb
Chaintech 6600 SLi supported


my PSU is a Logisys 500watt

but wat would i need to run SLi? I see theres a different power hook up. Why this and can i get an adapter?
 
Get a 6600gt and a little less expensive hard drive it'll be worth it. Also your mobo might come with power adapters look and see.
 
Alright man lemme help you out you are confused you have PSU right. Cause that is a 6600LE a very bad card. How much money do you have to spend and what do you already have.
 
I looked up your PSU your gonna need a new one for sli. Like the one the guy above posted its very good
 
ill look around for the GT but the WD is 50 bux with 8mb Cache and shit. i couldnt pass it. vs my broken 20 gig... but for right now can i run it? my PSU has a 6 pin flat connector? is there any adapters?
 
but like i said. wats so special about the SLi PSUs? and my card doesnt have that power hookup so i dont need the PSU right now. and do i have to run the 2 same cards?
 
Your PSU doesn't have the hookups modern pci-e motherboards need like 24pin, molex. It is better to make the investment now than to waste money on a adapters for a generic PSU. And the video card you selected isn't worth setting an sli rig for. Believe me or take a second opinion you'll get the same answer.
