my current specs are:
a64 3200+ (90nm)
1.5gb pny pc3200
asus a8n-sli deluxe
160gb seagate sata
pny 6600GT

now i was thinking of getting another 6600gt and doing sli, but should i wait a little longer and save to get a single 7800gt?

    Myself, I'd wait and save for the 7800GT. It's going to offer you more performance than the SLI 6600GT's will and when you find that the games are getting to be a bit much for the single 7800GT (should take a while there) you can always opt for another one and run the 7800GT's in SLI whereas with the 6600GT SLI setup you'll have to scrap it and start over which means you'll be throwing even more money into the eqation.

    Just my two cents worth.

    Save for the 7800GT. You might be able to get a GTX for the current price of a GT by the time your ready.

    Throw another log on the wait for a 7800GT fire. As mentioned, another 6600GT will just be cash down the tube.

    Anyone hear anything about the XFX 7800GT card? Good? Bad? Was going to get the eVGA but as the XFX is a bit cheaper...
