    What graphics should i get for my rig?

    Depand for what ... gaming no really. Multi GPU, YES. Encoding-Rendering YES The I7 have a great advantage in the memory bandwith and SLI/CF with 3 GPU.

    GTX 260/192 1792MB vs. GTX 260/216 896MB

    As i told, you can grab the Newer GTX275. Or just wait for DX11 card to come out. since ATI are supposed to show there prety face at the end of the month and Nvidia will follow the dance !

    GTX 260/192 1792MB vs. GTX 260/216 896MB

    They are basically the same card. If you GOOGLE it, youll find that the 1792mb vs the 896mb give a very similar performance. Unless you are gaming at 25x16 ... get the 896mb version ( or 2 GTX275 )

    What graphics should i get for my rig?

    youll play AION on HIGH settings with this rig. If you really want to uprgade get a GTX260 that can be founf for nearly 150$ sometimes :D Or just wait for the DX11 cards to come out PLZ !

    Nice, i was about to tell you to do this ;) 2.6ghz is a bottleneck ... Stress test and be sure its stable and stay under 80c full load with small FFT

    Difference between 2xPCI-E: 8x8 vs 16x16

    8x ~ 80gbs 16x ~ 160gbs As badge told. 8x8x can do it. Lots of bench show that its currently GPU/platform bottlenecked and not PCIe lane bottlenecked. For the best SLI/CF performance i suggest I7. They scale really better with multi GPU.

    XFX 9800gt with XFX9600gt sli

    ill alwais recommand SLIing IDENTICAL cards for the best compatibility. But a X 9800GT can work with a Y 9800GT. with newer driver the clock of the card dont seems to mater but the memory can still be an issue. Try to at least get a same memory model card. ( IE: 512 with 512 )

    2x GTX285 in SLI vs. 1x GTX295

    IF your using I7. 3 GTX285 OCed as well as the FTW GTX295 ..... 3SLI GTX285 still win ... guess why !

    2x GTX285 in SLI vs. 1x GTX295

    3sli GTX285 is better vs QUADgtx295. 3 SLI GTX285 with 4.0ghz I7 = awesome rig ( quite useless ;) )
