Deeper details with SLI please?

[orich93]

i read the stickie about it but i have some further questions
1) how can i tell if a game will benefit from SLI?
2) do all motherboards support SLI? if not, how do i know if mine does?
3) im using a mid size tower and my mobo has room for 2 cards is my case big enough to support both of them?
4) im using a gtx 250 and i want to buy another one for sli, do you think this is wise considering i play on a 32 inch screen??
thank you for your answers!!

1) Check the web for benchmarks most do.
2) Check your board at the manufacturers website!
3) Yes
4) Depends on other system specs (clearer answer can be given if you list your specs)

790GX boards only support Crossfire not SLI. Upgrade to a single better GPU like GTX560Ti or HD6950 is what I recommend.

hey this is off of the original topic but im using some ddr2 ocz reaper ram as stated in my signature, to be short, it has since been discontinued. would it be possible to run another 4g of ddr2 1066 by ocz or would i have to get a whole new model set?

If the ram has the same specs volts, timings in most instances it will work problem free.
