For a gaming computer, is it better to run tri SLI 9800GT's? (i have 1 9800GT 1gig now) or get Latest greatest video card out?

I thought only the 9800GTX could do Tri Sli? I know my BFG 9800GT only came with one SLI connector on the card, but I am not sure on other's cards.

Im probably being a bit of a noob here but doesnt 512mb*2 =1024mb which is the same memory as a GTX 280 has
or is SLI fundementally different on how it manages memory

I thought that was the main difference between the 8000 series and the 9000 series. The 8800GT and 9800GT are completely identical, except only the 9800GT supports Tri SLI.
Anyway, investing in 3 512mb cards is a huge waste of money since having only 512mb will bottleneck you unless you play at 1280x1024 0xAA 0xAF, and then what's the point? I think the AMD 4800 series is a better deal anyway since they price dropped it.

9800GT is 55nm.
