I'd wait and see what your temps are going to be like first before going to that. I average between 60c-68c with my ONE 8800 GTX. Now with two cards going that will increase some, but wait and see. Just keep your ambient temps 72f or lower and have good airflow around the case.

Its official in a few months or the next year time, this gonna be my UGM(uggum), WOOT!. Thats right thats 3 times! SLI GeForce 8800 GTX/Ultra's 768MB! OVERCLOCKED!. By that time im sure these peripherals will be highly outdated Lols with the new intel 8 core/sintegrated memory controller (see Intels site) or Nvidia 9900s or AMDATI gpu's Lol.

Might as well go for 8 gb of mem as that board will support it (I know because I have the EVGA mobo).
