No - to enable SLI mode you need to have the same Model Card (2x 7600GTs )

No, you will not be able to use those two cards in the same system. It is a limitation of the driver. Since their model numbers are different, you will not be able to use SLI.

A gs and a gt? Im going to go out on a limb and say no. They have different bios's and i think it would conflict with the drivers.
