    Is it worth it to trade in my 8800gts + $200 for a 8800gtx?

    Finally got SLI to work........

    When I turn on SLI and play a game, I see green bars and color patterns, and artifacts. As soon as I turn SLI off, this stops. What could be causing this? I know both GPUs are good because I tried them out individually before and they both worked fine, it just happens in SLI mode.

    Do I need a new PSU?

    I just picked up the Cooler Master Real Power 550W from my buddy for $40. He used it for less then a month, but is taking his PC apart because he is always on the road and needs the money to buy a laptop. I read a lot on the Cooler Master Real Power 550W and seems like a lot of people like it...

    Do I need a new PSU?

    I have a quick question. I have a AMD 3800 X2 Cpu, 2 gigs of RAM, 2 Hard Drives, and two 7900 GTX OC SLI video cards. Now, I need a PSU and I was wondering, would a 550 watt PSU cut it or do I need something more? I dont overclock anything btw.
