hi there, I've just come in to possession of my bros old PNY 8800 GTS 320MB card, and i've just bought a second identical card off ebay.

I don't have an sli mobo, so i'm after some recommendations on building a system around these two cards.

in fact, how much power am i going to need for two of these cards?

Also, if i get an sli mobo, and just plug in one of the cards, how many watts will just one of them need? Say if i wanted to use my old PSU while i save for a more powerful one.

Will the PSU i'm using at the moment be enough for just one card while i save my pennys?

cheers.
Gaz.
