Ive read tons of reviews on the new SLI mobos and the graphics cards. Most all articles say that there is a noticeable performance increase only when you run extremely demanding games on resolutions higher than 1600x1200. If you plan on playing the newest games on a resolution like that, then by all means get the SLI mobo and save up for 2 6800gt's, but if you plan to play all of the newest games on highest settings on a res of 1600x1200 and below, you might as well keep your current configuration. With the x800xtpe your computer will be faster than 1 6800gt, but if you get 2 6800gt's you might only see an increase if you run it on a high rez. Either route you go, its not like one computer will outlast the other because one has SLI and one doesn't, its just a matter of preference.
