Mmmm, crapstorm

I'll still be going SLI 8800gtxs though, however since you don't have an 8800gtx or 9800gtx, this is not an option.

If you do get one of those two cards, just realize that the 9900 won't seem as impressive. I myself would prefer being patient, like tiki said, and then be even more impressed from an upgrade directly from you 8600gts to the 9900gtx.

I went from a 7800gt, to an 8800gtx, and at the time it was amazing to have FEAR and Oblivion go from "acceptable" frame rates, to "son of a biscuit, constant 60fps with everything maxed!"
