The big question we have to ask here is how many people are going to run out and buy one of these $799 SLI systems from a performance standpoint? Probably not many, as those looking for performance will go with either a faster single card, or with beefier SLI cards. I think that the people that will be most interested in these low cost SLI solutions will be those looking for the greatest amount of flexibility for their dollar spent. Two 6600 LE’s will not burn down the barn when it comes to frame rates, but when we consider that each of these cards cost around $70 to $90, their appeal becomes fairly obvious. Buying a SLI enabled motherboard and power supply and using a single 6600 LE will give the user a whole bunch of flexibility when it comes to future upgrade choices. The first choice would be to buy another $70 card and essentially double their performance. Anymore a $70 upgrade is nothing, especially considering that a top of the line card is $599. Also, users will not be as mournful to replace a $70 card when they upgrade to something a lot beefier and much more expensive.
