I don't experience that, and never have, and I'm using onboard sound right now.

Well actually, for nvidia chipsets you only need the 590 series, mine is just 1 set under that, but those pci-e 2.0 boards are like $250 for a good one, so fuck that. And actually, my current gpu s (2x7600GTs, overclocked) out benchmarked a single 8600GTS, and my soon to be gpu s will outpower most of the entire geforce 9 series and so on, with a bit of fine tuning. And the MSI did have a better brand name (altek) intergrated sound card, but that would mean this higher level Asus must be better.

The 8600GT is little to sometimes no faster than the 7600GT. That's no joke. Look up on it. You may as well stick with your current SLi setup in that case.

Secondly, the 8600GT in SLi would not beat even an 8800GT across the board. The 8800GT has almost double the stream processors of the other two COMBINED (112 on the 8800GT vs 64 for the two 8600GTs combined), and on top of that, as I said, SLi doesn't double the power. With SLi, you get twice the processing power, and that's about it. Memory does not double, and you're still stuck with the same memory limitations, so you don't get 2x the performance. The 8600GT in SLi is not that good and is bad at the cost for performance ratio.

Save yourself the money and get an 8800GT or HD4850 (the latter is better).
