nflesher, You know I just bought this 8600GT. Performs around an x1900 when overclocked.

Just LMK ...

I really am still interested in the 3850!

yes sir, basically any card, ATI or nVidia can be Crossfired/SLI'd with any other card with the same core. The memory is independent of pairing. The only downside is both cards are limited to that of the lesser's memory and the one with, say 512 can only utilize 256MB

hmmmm, well at first that seemed like an awesome deal but I'm having trouble outweighing the 8800GTS 320MB + $130...that's a $50 price difference yet a relatively low performance difference, if you can swing $100 + my shipping I might be able to do it
