A few questions about SLI: If you only have one video card (PCI 16x), you can still run your system on that, right? Also, when you get the 2nd card for it, does it have to be the EXACT same card? Or does it just have to be the same chipset, i.e. two geforce 6800s from two different manufacturers? Or can it even be two different chipsets entirely i.e. radeon and nvidia working together?
Also, will SLI really be noticibly better than just straight up PCI 16x setup? I think I once read that even AGP doesn't utilize it's full capacity... so is there really an advantage to making the leap into this uber expensive setup?
