Mega, if Fly takes the GTX260, and he makes his 9800GTX available, then I will put my hand up for the 9800GTX and even pay Fly a fair amount for it. My brother has a 9800GTX, and with the second one from fly, I could potentially upgrade his rig to an SLI one. (since my brother can not afford any upgrades, I tend to look after his kit)
But yes, only if it goes to Fly, and only if Fly doesn't have another person that could make better use of Fly's 9800GTX.

hi skopes
it is 9800 GTX+ (Palit, IIRC)
is it still SLi-able with your brother's GPU? i heard that they have to be exactly the same?

Hi fly, according to my understanding, the 9800GTX+ is the same chipset just produced with 55nm compared to the 9800GTX which is produced using 65nm technology. The reduced size enable less heat thereby enable the engineers to overclock it a bit. According to this site here:
http://www.overclock.net/t/359285/9800gtx-9800gtx-in-sli-yes-u-can
it looks like you can indeed SLI the two cards.
The only thing that will happen is the clock speed of the faster card will drop to the lowest card's. But apart from that, should be fine.
