Welcome to Purdueman and Pez; I will have you two updated on the offsite roster soon.

Do you (or Pio) know what model they are? There are quite a few XMS modules on the list. If they're not there I can do some research and try to find them, if you guys want that is.

How do i find out wich Ram i have?

According to OCZ, your PSU should be able to handle SLI.

However, according to Neoseeker, it looks like your GPU would draw 20.5 Amps at full load; meaning it could NOT handle it.

Why the certification then? According to nVidia, the OCZ 700 or 850 W could power a pair of 8800s. The 600 W can run less than the 7x00 series. My guess is that IF you try to run this, you are going to be tight. It would not be a bad idea to use the adapters that likely came with your cards rather than the PCI-E cables directly. Then, you can bridge two Molex rails.

I'm running 4 sticks of that same ram, and have never had an issue, and I'm only running a 400w power supply. With your power supply, you should have no issues with running the SLI.

Two things:

1) Raziel: you do NOT have the same RAM. 512 mb is not 1024 mb.

2) StormX2, you will notice a sticker on the side of your RAM. It will look like this:

The code in the upper right corner is what Iceman needs.

2.5) As to what I was saying, I was saying it does not look like your power supply can handle two 8800s. Two 7600 yes. Two 6800 yes. Two 7800 or better, no. The 700 W or 850 W model is needed for two of your card. Neither could run a pair of Ultras.

(Sorry of the double, I somehow forgot to address purdue this morning.)

Well anyway I think I need a new chipset fan, if I want to clock this any higher. I remember back in this machines heyday it could hit 2.6ghz, but I also remember having a difficult time overclocking it. Well here it is my Clawhammer at 2310mhz.

Silly question; but have you checked your northbridge temperature? Everest Ultimate or Hardware Monitor should show it. If not, see if you can safely touch the northbridge heat sink. If it is painfully warm, that could be what is holding you back. As a stopgap until you can replace its cooler, consider putting a spare case fan into the picture pointed at it.
