Of course you'll need a motherboard that supports it. In your situation it's not an option...IMHO SLI= two nVIDIA cards using the same GPU core... Like above BUDMAN mentioned, running the 9800GT as a PHYSX card is an option, as long as the games you play make use of PhysX. Look at the list of Physx supported games...not a whole lot of "really" interesting stuff IMHO... I wouldn't bother...which 460 are you getting? The 1024Mo version has a faster memory bus, which makes it a little faster than the 768mo version. Awards
