Im building a new computer for christmas and i have an AMD socket AM2 with an AMD Athlon X2 4200 (2.2 GHz), CORSAIR XMS2 512MB and i was wondering if i should
SLI two (2) 7300 GT's so i would get a core clock of 700 MHz and a memory clock of 1064 MHz and i would also get 512 MB's of video RAM. Or should i get a differnt card with 512MB's of RAM for under 170 USD (U.S. Dollars) b/c the two (2) 7300's together are
132 USD (U.S. Dollars)

I would buy a single card with 512mb of ram...2x7300gts cant be that great( that card had 4pixel pipes :(...maybe a single x1900xt or a 7900GTX, that would own sli 7300gt's.Puting 2x7300gt's sli seems like a big waste of money ...and u said ur building a new comp for christmas why dont u just buy a dx.10 card im sure they will be out by then.

Video card with 256 +Video card with 256 != 512.

Sorry.

If I were you, I would up to 1 gig or 2 gigs ram. Then get a good card based on your interface.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Or you can try the Radeon X1950. It has the fastest GPU on the market, and it doesn't get any better than that. Of course the GeForce 7950 is a good runner-up, but SLI really isn't worth it. Most games can run full settings with just one card.

Meh im a Nvidia EVGA fan and im not allowed to spend over 800$ (im only 14) but im gonna get a cheaper case and im gonna SLI these one's, im also gonna replace the Passive heatsinks with fan/heatsinks (i also want to know if these would run oblivion on at least Mid-Low Settings)

Or a ATI-9550, little expensive some places, but its better than nvidia! Pixel-Shaders, Decals, shadows, and specular, this is a must buy card!

SLI-ing those would be definite overkill, since you won't get double the performance, it doesn't work that way. There are no games out yet to challenge the SLI capability, so save some money and get one.

Don't even bother SLIing ANYTHING. Get at LEAST 1GB of ram, and just get like a 7800 or a 7900.

SLIing a couple 7300's or 7600's is a huge waste, when a single 78-7900, x1800+ etc will outperform them for less money.

I'm not positive on this but I don't think you can even SLi two 7300s.

Just wait for the freaking DX10. YOur wasting your money buying a DX9 Video Card. Becuase within the next few months they will become extinct. The SLi Nvida geforce 7900 that cost like $500 will be like $100.
