Looks good, nice price, awesome specs.
It has my vote.
No matter how hard you try to push the envelope, remember it's only stationary.

Very nice card!  I may even save up, buy one of them, and swap out one of my 7900 cards so I can leave SLI and still get the frames!

Both reviews you linked are saying that the 9600GT is slower than the 8800GT he linked.

Quote
The GeForce 9600 GT will be above the 8600 GTS and below the 8800 GT in terms of both price and performace. (sic)

The eVGA 9600GT is listing at $20 less according to NewEgg, not worth the difference in performance to me.

Danny?  That there is one solid card you are looking at.  Buy me one and I will even let you in my parties for free*!

SLI  only supports two cards that are the same kind. Unles you M/B support 3 V/Cs

LOL Z..  Yah I was reading some reviews and it did beat out the new 9 series thats coming out in March.  I might wait till the 9 series comes out to see if it's any cheaper.

I would break the cards out of SLI and go back to two separate connects, that way I could run dual monitor again.  Oh, how I miss my second monitor.

Yep.  I ran my system for a while that way, but for some reason I was getting horrible frames in CoD4, so I turned on SLI.  the up side was that the second monitor has it's own card driving it and so teh first monitor doesn't split the load like my old layout, which is now my desktop system.
