Unlike most of the review sites, GamePC uses actual production parts for their reviews. There will be a lot of folks PO'd until this gets resolved. Hope it's just a BIOS fix. If Phil is right and it's an electrical noise issue, I predict much fear and loathing from 6800 owners in coming weeks.

That said, the sweet spot looks to be the 6600GT's in any case. They will equal or outperform any single card solution, do it for less than a 6800GT, and do it with sane noise and power draw. As the retail prices of the SLI motherboards and 6600 cards drop, by February this should be a $450-$500 mb+2 vid card combination set. Nice.
