Another question about motherboards

[|AoD| Horvath]

Howdy y'all! A friend here just got an ASUS P5NE-SLI mobo, and we were wondering which option would be the best:

He already have a 7600GS, so does he get another one for SLI purposes, or does he spends like 4x its price to get a single 8800GTS??

Finally, is this mobo much better than the other one he got? (posted in March)

A single 8800 GTS will kick the crap out of two SLI'ed 7600 GS'. Not sure about the mobo, but it's an Asus so it must be an ok board.

Also, I don't know if you can get stuff from Newegg down there in Brazil, but they have a hell of a good deal on an 8800GTS right now. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130071&CMP=EMC-IGNEVGA062907&ATT=N82E16814130071

we can't shop @ newegg down here... anyways, one of my friends got the 8800GTX and GODDAMN IT KICKS ASS! The other friend got a good deal on another 7600GS, he'll get it next saturday I think. Any ideas on how better it will be on SLI?
Poor me... still on the GeForce 4 MX lol.

It'll be a good bit better. With the ram of 2 cards, he'll see more fps. However, SLI configurations really shine when doing video editing, and not so much for gaming really. Mike has SLi'ed 7800's, and he says there's not much difference in his gaming from when he had only 1 7800.
