Sounds like it ought to be a monster. I'm getting ready to upgrade, and have been really looking at SLI vidcards. All the research I have read says that in SLI mode, the cards actually run around PCIE 8X (or 4X, I can't remember). With a single card, it runs the full PCIE 16X. It seems that you only get a 10% better frame rate with SLI. That was the last time I really did serious research, about 4 months ago. They might have the pipeline opened up, and using the whole 16X on both cards now.

You didn't say how much memory you were putting in this beast. If you are running BF2, especially a BF2 server, load it up with memory.

The machine I run now is just BARELY better than the minimum requirements of BF2, except for the Radeon 9800 pro vidcard. I'm really waiting for the next patch to come out. With the V1.02 patch my pings went through the roof, and I almost can't play online.

If you ever kill Leadpuppy on there, it's me! I pretty much suck at 1st person shooters, but it's still fun!

Maybe we should start a BF2 Thread!
