How much wattage for 2x SLI 8800gt?

How much wattage will be enough for two SLI 8800gt?

I have my eyes on a 580W Hiper Type R power supply, would this be enough? Bare in mind my processor is currently a heavily overclocked Athlon X2 3800 (2.6GHz), and I want enough room left over for a potential upgrade to a quad core Intel Core 2 some time in the future (although it'll probably of the 45nm variety by that time). Rest of specs in sig below.

Also are there any compatibiity issues to look out for with SLI'ing two 8800GTs, since I'm using an older nForce4 x16 mobo (socket 989)?

Cheers!

105w x 2
 
580w should be good if you only have one or two harddrives

but do you know the +12V rails for that powersupply? the rails are as important as the actual power output

105w is how much a single 8800gt outputs, i think your x1900xt consumes a fair amount more than that but less than 8800gt in sli
