 When two Geforce 6600 GTs in SLI mode just aren't enough....

lol, why would you ever need 2?
Maybe play Elder Scrolls: Oblivion at 1600x1200 with full antialiasing and everything else jacked up....
while playing B&W2 in the background....
and rendering a complex ray-traced scene.
:p

yea, but the expense isn't worth it. By the time we need that kind of power, improved manufacturing capabilities will put the same power in a tenth of the space (or a hundreth, or whatever).
I want another quantum leap in computer performance. I'm thinking 64bit may do just that. *crosses fingers

1) SLI
2) Dual Core CPU
3) 64bit mumbojumbo

yea, I doubt SLI will do it...that 'only' doubles performance (roughly). Dual-core looks like a good starting point....properly done, it more than doubles performance since you don't have to jump onto the front side bus to talk between the two+ cores. I'm thinking multi-core + 64bit + improved memory + improved memory buses/controllers will kick us to the next level of processing capabilities.
