Save up for a higher resolution monitor/TV.

And that Athlon X2 is not bottle-necking an 8800GS, come on people Just because it's not the absolute newest tech doesn't mean it's bad tech. Back before Phenom ever existed people were spouting the same crap, Athlon X2 does fine in games, graphics card matters most, turn up the eye candy to take load off of the CPU, blah blah blah.
yeah i already bought a new moniter
A 32 inch sony bravia
I didnt realize resoloution was so important at the time
ohwell
cheers

SLI will do you well and will be fine on your CPU.
Hey 9600GSO is renamed 8800GS
You should be able to max out your games except crysis

Should, but can't.

COD4 gives about 60 FPS and 80FPS overclocked.

I know about the rename, too =D

I don't know how a GSO would give problems at 1280. When I had my red MSI 9600GT and my 1280 CRT setup and this CPU, I would bang games out on high all day (Crysis not all high but some) and mine was OCed to 800 on the core, can't remember the rest since it's been a while.

But SLi in this case with a small res=fail. You should really save your money and try to get at least a 1650 Res monitor and then another 88GS, cause adding another would do basically nothing, would just create more heat for no reason giving no real performance increase for the money

Remember, SLi/Xfire are for resolutions 1920x1200/1080 and up (1650 depending on if you're SLing things like 8800GSs or 4770s)

Any lower res should be dedicated to a single card solution.
