XPS 710 + second 8800GTX

Hey lads,

 

I'm trying to find the second 8800GTX for my XPS 710 so i can run in SLI.

 

But there are so many different 8800GTX's im unsure which 1 i need?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=8800gtx&x=0&y=0

 

Could you point me in the right direction.

 

Also, anything that needs to be adujsted on my stock PSU for this to run 2 cards?

 

Cheers!

    ANY 8800gtx will be okay so if I were you, I would choose the more inexpensive one from evga or xfx because they are the most well respected card makers around (not that the others are bad). If you have the 710 red or 710 h2c, your psu is fine, if not you should upgrade to dell's 1kw supply.

    Hey good luck with running the two cards with  a 750W supply.Let us know how it comes out. I find it extremly interesting that Dell as consertive as they are would not put two 8800GTX's in a system with less than a 1Kw supply.. but then again that's just my two cents...
