    Small HTPC

    I'm thinking about building a small HTPC that can game. I wanna use at least 3 PCI slots for graphics, TV tuner and WiFi, so that rules out a Mini-ITX system.

    SLI & Xfire response time

    So I've heard that there is some added display response time when using SLI or Xfire. I've also heard its very minimal and that most people wouldn't notice it. How about with the dual GPU on a single PCB type cards like the 9800GX2 or the 3870X2, is the response time still there?
