Render times are basically taken care of by the processor, that's why I have the quad core, but it doesn't hurt to have as much GPU power as possible to help out. I must admit, it's a bit overkill to have two 8800GTX's, but then, having two of them now at approx. $500 is easier for me than spending $1,000+ later on for a single card that outdoes the two of them together. I do agree, though, that for an Intel processor, it's better for the stability of the system to also have an Intel chipset, though I haven't had any problem with mine.
