uses two 6600GT gpus on one card

performance is a little less than an sli rig and there are mucho hardware/software issues

I could be wrong, but I think it still uses the SLI software somehow, so it recognizes the card as two? I have a feel like the card might not work in SLI. Still, that would be one sick gaming machine.

edit: yeah, it says in the article it can only use one core unless using a SLI enabled motherboard.
