    Only if you're motherboard supports SLI, AFAIK.

    I don't think you can mix cards. If your motherboard suports sli you can get another 8600gt

    Back in England? That's funny, I'm English too.. >.<

    And I'm guessing it's because it can't load different hardware at the same time.

    sli requires two pci-e x16 slots, and an nVidia chipset motherboard. you can only sli the same series of graphics cards (8800GT+8800GT). on top of that, you will need a new power supply to handle the load of sli cards.

    only certain games accept sli. so if the game doesn't accept sli, you'll only get the power of one card

    no, it's a intel p35 chipset. only ATi crossfire will work.

    you need an nVidia chipset. if you're using SLI
