I had been running my 5 guys on a single 8800 GT with the main on a 22" widescreen and the clones each on 1/4 of a standard 19". I recently got another 8800GT, and running the same screen setup I see almost no improvement in framerates. I was rather disappointed.
Eeesh, that is what I was worried about! SLI and dual GPUs aren't all that great from what I can tell, which is why I went for a MB that handled great CPU overclocking at a good price rather than worrying with Crossfire and SLI support.

Okay, let me change the question: Would more VRAM help me out with my goals. I can get a 1GB 8800 GT for less than $200. The GT 260 is a 896 MB card (weird ram size makes me nervous, is the wide bandwidth bus more than NVidia could handle in practice?). I've started eyeing the 4870, but I really want my next card to have enough ram to handle three copies of WoW. That might be specialized, so that's why I'm thinking the extra ram on 1GB G92 8800's would be the trick.

I'm also not adverse to adding another 4GB of ram. I have Vista x64 and my MB can accomodate it.

EDIT: I have a spare monitor that runs at 1680x1050, and a box that drives it that is a file server. It has an 8600GTS 256/X2 4800/2GB/XP-32. My issue is that this box is my file server, and is located in a different area of my house. I could swap out the monitor, I guess, to a spare 19" I have, but then I'm back to wondering which card can drive it.
