asking if any 1 elsehas used the video card setup and knows if its any good or not

[algol]

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.

ao is anarchy online im going to be boxing that aswell as wow and ao takes more to run then wow and dose work with sli
and the pc can handle the 8800gt sli was asking if the boost is worth the cost and time

Incorrect. WoW will use SLI.

does it uses now ? hmm.

anyways, when will it use ?

[Bovidae]

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.

i disagree the computer is working great without the 8800gt sli its runing 5xao and 5xwow without any lag
the i7 uis a very nice prosseser and the ddr3 ram is nice 2 this was my first system with it
