Have not had the honor of using one but "wow !" the SLI results (yes it's possible) on this page are off the charts !!!

We got a 75 per cent performance increase over a single Geforce 8800 GTX card.
Yes, we are talking about G80, Geforce 8800 GTX times two.
Are you ready for some big numbers?
********** 3Dmark03 scores 49,400. ***********
For comparison, a 7950 GX2 dual core graphic card scores 29,800 in the same test. A single X1950XTX scores 19,500

Power:
The card claims NVIDIA requires at least a 450W power supply for a single GeForce 8800GTX.
The GTX has two 6-pin power adaptors .....

550W recommended for SLI

you need 28W on 12v and 550W for one but for 2 you would need alot more not to mention 4 6pin connectors.
Whats it like? very nice ofcourse.
