    you do realise you'll only be able to use 2 of them..
    it only has 1 SLi connector on it so you can only SLi 2 of them.

    that's a total waste of £350 - £400!
    why not just get a refund on it?

    but it only has 1 SLi connecter, meaning it can only be connected to 1 other card..
    if you'd went for 8800GTX's or 9800GTX's you could've had tri-SLi but with the 9800GX2 it's impossible to have all 3 running in parallel, you may be able to have all 3 on the board and working, but they won't aid each other in a game.

    and to get quad SLi you need 4 PCI-E slots on your board..
    they'll be difficult if not impossible to find.

    Re: help with my pc build

    Quad SLi is out.. but they're older boards.

    putting 3 or 4 GX2's together is impossible.. there's only 1 connector for it, and once you've SLi'd the cards it's already quad SLi, so even if you could get 4 cards together, it'd be octo-SLi..

    yeah, but it's a different type of quad SLi.. the 1 we were meaning is 4 seperate cards in 4 different PCI-E slots..
