    they should give you the option of the 512mb instead of 1GB and selling it for $1000. They should have the $500 option

    It's not bad for SLI, but I'm sure there will be the option to have only one.

    According to "Direct To Dell" page, there will no "no-SLI" option. They use a special customized PCB with both 8800 on that card.

    I'm guessing most buyers are going to wait a month or so for prices to drop?
