Sli only works with 2 of the exact same video card...

[tippet]

hmm...so would you recommend changing the mobo or get 2 new video cards and if so any suggestions ??

[vaderpro]

What exact card do you have right now?..post a link.

[tippet]

its an appian dual port jeronimo pro .... pretty old ... from what I can see they no longer make them

[vaderpro]

Ok...whats your total budget?

[tippet]

I'd like to keep it to under 1200.... may be time to upgrade the old card ... 2 Nvidia GeForce 7600GS possibly??

[aliasaid]

if its that old then its most likely AGP and will not fit on most new motherboards

yeah they would work...and with that budget you should go with a core2 duo setup

[tippet]

dollar for dollar -the present components with the new Nvidia cards how would it size up to a core2 duo setup ... always been weary of being a 'test rat" on new tech gear and finding out later its laden with problems
