so it comes with 2 graphics cards but you dont know what number they are?


Not necessarily -- this merely indicates that the mobo is SLI equipped. He can still run the computer with only one card installed.

8800 should be plenty... but it sounds like Ace wants to really max this sucker out... Hope you got enough power planned for it!

Get a 8800 gt ahead of a 8800gtx

Just got one and the performance is only fractionally slower for half the price

Runs FSX fine
