It is very unlikely that the Gateway system's power supply, motherboard, and cooling are adequate for SLI. The motherboard in particular is unlikely to even be capable of SLI, making it impossible without replacing it.

Further, I don't know of any way to make SLI work when you're running multiple windows for 5-boxing on a single computer.

Correct me if im wrong, but i dont think WoW takes advantage of the SLI system. It will only use one card, as most games out there.

It does, but don't expect much.

Speaking of not expecting much, don't expect any boxed retail pc to do jack or shit as far as upgrades are concerned. Unless you already have the pc, find someone capable of spec building a machine for you.
