    8800GTX SLI question for PSU

    To my understanding you need 2 PCI-E connector for one of these cards? So that would mean you need a Quad-SLI, 4 PCI-E rails, PSU to have 8800GTX SLI up and running? I'm just confused because I see people running 8800GTX in a SLI setup using the PCP 750, the orange PSU, and it only has 2 PCI-E.

    Just select from the poll. I gave the preorder a shot today and if I can get the chip before August I will keep it, otherwise I will just cancel it.

    I know it isn't a popular thing around ATOT. I'm actually quite interested in getting one because I notice myself opening up my case on a more frequent basis, ranging from cleaning dusts, upgrading parts, changing hsf and tweaking here and there. Is the HSPC a good buy, if money wasn't a factor?
