2x 8800GS 320MB or 1 8800XT/Ultra 768MB?

What do you guys reckon would perform better out of the above 3 graphics solutions?

And what CPU would you recommend to go with it? Perhaps a Core 2 Dup 6600/6700?

Also if i get an SLI Motherboard, i can just use one graphics card right now, and upgrade to two later one right?

Cheers

depends on what OS you have....

from what I hear Vista and SLI dont go well together.

id go for the 8800 ultra as i had the same prob of choosing 2x 8800gts 640mb or a gtx or ultra, i went for an oc`ed ultra in the end by BFG as when its compared to 2x8800 gts 640mb it only falls short by a small ammount, so if you get an ultra you can then when you have the money get another ultra for sli and that will blow anything away. But the Ultra i have is better than 2x 8800gts 640mb in supreme commander as they get about 17fps i think an my 1 card gets bout 60 i cant rember the ultras fps but i do know it was significantly more. Also if you get 2 cards in sli then sum games i.e. stalker dont use the second card so its usless, so id recommend the Ultra :D

Oh as for cpu if you want a dual core then get an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 , its great for ocing and even at default clock it kicks a** and takes names, if you want quad core get an Intel Core 2 Duo Q6600 thats class too :D

ultra is waste of money and for 2 GTS's you need a core 2 quad with core 2 duo you will have bottleneck

ultra is waste of money and for 2 GTS's you need a core 2 quad with core 2 duo you will have bottleneck

just oc ur cpu to 3.0 ghz on intel c2d and this stops the bottleneck, and the ultra is no waste of money, i hate when people say its an oc`ed gtx because its not as it has more bandwidth more shaders and more raw power i have a BFG 8800 Ultra OC and my mate has an EVGA 8800GTX KO and the ultra blows it away
