i would go for the 6800 Ultra, if you want you can buy a second later for SLi , i dunno if you have a AMD 64 but....

and besides, the Geforce cards are much more reliable

and about the Sli story, there's an article on most of the tech-sites about Sli working on Non-sli MOBO's
the guy has AGP, thats 1 slot, that does NOT work with pci-e cards
i order to use SLi you need the fallowing:

1-a mobo w/ 2 pci-e slots

2-that mobo has to support SLi

3-2 vid cards that are pci-e and support the SLi funtion

the 6800 ultra comes in 3 flavors:

agp (this is the only one he can use!)

pci-e

pci-e w/ SLi support

he can only use agp, so forget about buying a card later for your current rig. so go buy buy a good agp card. or wait it out and buy a new rig with a SLi graphics system :Oo:
