newbie question on joining 2 graphics cards

I have the GeForce 7600GT PCI-E 256MB DDR3 DVI/TVO SLI card and was wanting
to know if you or you know anyone who has done this and what was their
result when it came to gaming as someone told me I would actually be better
to get another card the same and join the two 256mb cards as it would work
out better than 1 512mb card. I would like more opinions on this as I am new
to this and have never done it before in the past with any other cards that
had this function of being able to join them up together , I would really
appreciate your advice on this.

 

You should take this to a gaming group. those users would have a
better knowledge of SLI.

I'm picking up the Geforce 7900 GS with SLI and I read it just wasn't
up to it's hype - so I'm not sure.

At this time I'm just hoping my card will allow me to take down my son
with a sniper rifle, before he finds me (Call of Duty 2)

 

My buddy and I were doing one-on-one mode in...I think it was SOCOM:
Navy Seals. He was kicking my ass all over the place, and I could
rarely even find him. If I did get a glimpse of him, before I could aim
he'd have my head blown off. Finally...hours later...he mentioned that
I'd probably do better if I hadn't overlooked the uniform option. We
were in a winter scenario and I was wearing somehting like forest camo
while he was in white. I still can't believe I didn't notice that.

 

Funny, at least you can change clothing and stand a chance.

Lately I've been going to a LAN party of dedicated gamers - my Son
being the best of course <Pride>; and me at the opposite end...

Call of Duty shows how you died, you are the enemy from about 10
seconds till you are shot or blown up.

I see a knot on a tree, they see my helmet and shot, I die...

Other times I'm in the perfect spot to snipe someone, totally hidden,
they can see my rifle sticking out the window, or over the a ledge )

Lots of fun tho, even if my present station in life is to raise their
kill ratios

 

Silly shark don't you know forrest camo is for humans.

He still kicked my ass, but not as badly.

Sometimes you eat the shark; sometimes the shark eats you.

 

I *knew* I should've been playing naked!
