Whats comparable to a AGP 6800 GT but with SLI?

[Mongoo]

Originaly I was thinking about getting an AGP set up for a new computer I plan to build, but SLI will allow for more upgrading down the road. What is a Comparable card to the AGP 6800GT but with SLI capibility? I only plan to buy one card now, and then get another when they go on the cheap.

Thanks

Um, a PCIe 6800GT?

Is this a trick question?

Consider a $300 X800XL, too. No, I don't think you'll be able to SLI down the road, but it's $100 cheaper than a 6800GT, and that's a $100 head start on a new card down the road. I'm not sure a 6800GT will go "on the cheap"--meaning, less than $250--for a while, though I may be wrong.

You know pcie boards have pcie x1 in addition to the x16. What are these for? Is everything expected to turn pcie soon? Like sound cards, etc.?

Yes, but plain old PCI will hang around for a while yet.
