At last I've managed to go SLi.sold off my HD4870 and got 2 x XFX 9800GT 512MB GDDR3 and SLi'd them.straight away bios flashed and oc'd them to 700|1900|2000
(core |shader|mem).ran a few benches and here r the results:

Test Setup:
Core i7 920 on stock cooler
MSI Eclipse SLi
2*1GB DDR3 1066 (oc to 1333/1400)
2 x XFX 9800GT 512MB GDDR3 SLi
CM Extreme Power 600W

Fear [Single GPU (i7 920 @ 3.2GHz)]

it wud ve been lot better if u get a 280GTX, even if had to wait for a month or so.
goin directly for a SLI or crossfire setup is not a gud idea especially if there exist some single GPU cards with relative performance of the SLI/crossfire setup.

its gud for 3Dmark scores, but not as fruitful in most of the games.

^+1....How many 3dmarks were you getting with the 4870?
My 3870x2 outperforms even the 4870 in 3dmark06..even the gtx280 at times..(i get nearly 19k) but is way slower in actual games.

18K with HD4870 ? HD4870 1GB would then have equaled the 2x9800GT at same price and lower power consuption.

Anyway, 10K is a bit too high man. 8K would have been reasonable. For 10K you might as well have got HD4850 CrossFireX.

Dude, SERIOUSLY! You could as well have bought 2x 9600GT for 6.5K each if you wanted to see SLI performance. 9600GT vs 9800GT is very close in performance, but the former overclocks rather well.

PS: I still don't understand how you are able to buy 10 rigs an year. That too pricey components. :p

^^^ cudnt decide bet 9600GT & 9800GT.was getting 9600GT @ 6k apiece.last i thought that 9800GT having gr8er no of stream processors so sud perf better.

Everything maxed out?

I have 8800 GTS 512 G92 SLI. 9800 GT is also based on the same G92 core but 8800 GTS 512 is better than 9800 GT at times. Still I get 30 FPS in GTA IV.

I think Windows 7 and Core i7 are making some big difference out there aren't they?
I'm running Vista Ultimate X86 on a Q6600 with 4 Gigs of RAM.

Somewhat offtopic: WIll Vista X64 improve performance in games?(No highjack intended)

No need:D Have you updated GTA IV to 1.0.1? Does Vista SP2 increase performance in games?
GTA IV doesn't support SLI so the game is using only one GPU. Maybe the game is making full use of your proccy:D

^^^^ havent updated GTA IV.its the same version that u can .... from the net.
SP2 does inc performance.
cud be due to procy though it doesnt use 100% procy, saw bout 30% usage.
