Dual Core or not to Dual Core

Quad-SLI, while nice I think is more of a money machine for Nvidia. The performance is noticeable but only if you go above 1600x1200. Below that I've seen it be on-par with Ati's Crossfire. So...unless you plan to constantly run resolutions very high, Quad-SLI, in my opinion is more of a waste of money for bragging rights.

Thats exactly what I was thinking it was: A lot of show for little "go".

Thanks a lot guys, I think I'm even going to sticky this thread because there is a TON of good information on it for people considering a new gaming PC.
