I would suggest just one 256mb 6600GT that the two 128s in SLI, you will get better preformance. Also, what is your budget? And what is the pc going to be used for?

oh im sorry this computer is already built. i was just wondering if i could get more power from it.... my memory leg is at 3-3-3-8 i wanted to drop this down a littel. its kind of wierd that its thst high i ran memtest and thats what it said. i thought this memery was running 2-2-2-2.5 but maybe i got a differant model. do you think overclocking my mem would make it got a littel faster?

Personally I dont think you will notice a speed increase if you OC your RAM, your processor, yes you might be able to OC it enough to get the benefits of OCing, but you would need a more powerful heatsink, and you would void the warranty by OCing (that is the downside).

With my stock on my FX55 I can OC and gain up to 200mhz before I start to see rising temps that scare me and cause me to stop OCing b/c i dont want to overheat.
