knwoing little to nothing about SLI. Would it be better to SLI 8600 GT or just run 1 8800 GT OC
 
Would be glad to help......

What resolution do you game?
What stuff do you use???

Just as a blanket statement......I think the single 8800 GT is much more stout than 2 x 8600 GTs. But again it depends on the rest of your stuff.:D
 
4gb, amd 64x2 4000 ( 2.2ghz) Dont paly anythign cept TF 2 and Everquest,
 
its a 19 inch LCD acer monitor, i think i have it at liek 1280 x soemthign :p at work atm so not 100% sure :( sorry
 
It'll be better with 1 x 8800GT. The 8600 series were pretty weak cards compared to their 8800 brothers. Also at that resolution, SLI won't help that much.
 
I used 2 x 8600gts and then bought an 8800gts and the sli setup out performs my single 8800gts
all at the same res of 1024x768 on a 21" crt.
 
theres your problem.....

run at a higher resolution man, why the hell do you keep it so low?
 
If you game at anything less than 1600 X 1200 the SLI wont benefit you, unless you SLI the 8600 cards.

If you use the 8800 GTs at a low resolution you won't get the best bang for the buck.

Your best effort at a low resolution and minimal AA would be: single 8800 GT, SLI with 8600 GTs (will allow you to up the AA), or like Kidfinger said, check out the 9600 GT.

If you already have one 8600 GT then I would buy a second and SLI, if you dont, I think you'd be best off to buy a single card solution.
 
i dont think its wise to sli such a lowend card. you wont get that much of an improvement on that chip. g92 and g94 is where sli is starting to show massive improvements
