    You will honestly not see much or any difference between one video card and triple SLI. Spend the money on faster RAM, a RAID array, or a massive monitor; those are things you will notice a difference on.

    Heh, well, I am playing off a 47Inch LCD TV and a 24Inch LCD.

    I assumed the 4 gigs of ram (With Vista 64) would be fine. I was told about the RAID bit by a couple of people now, so I guess I probably should go with that as well. I mean, WoW will not be the sole purpose of this Rig since it is my Main Rig and I will be doing a little bit of everything with it. So far I have gotten pretty good responses on what is good, which helped me figure out which path to take. But I guess with a good enough Hard drive, mid to higher level video card (Single) and quad CPU and at least 2 gigs of ram will get me what I want.
    A good fight is never clean.

    with how cheap RAM is and the fact you are using vista 64 you should get the 4gigs. A RAID 0 will give you some performance boost in wow (a small one) when running 5 clients or you can leave the drives seperate and just spread out the client folders between them. keep in mind that RAID 0 gives you no redundancy so if a drive dies you lose it all if you dont have a backup

    For WoW, this is probably right.
