Gotta question for you techies.

At the moment I have 1 nvidia geforce 8400 GS and two nvidia geforce 7600 GT's (xxx edition).

My question to you, is what would better performance wise, the 8400? or the two 7600's using sLI?

and if for some reason you need system specs, here they are:

intel pentium-d 3.0 ghz
2 gigs of ddr2 ram
running vista x64 with a dual-monitor set up.
nvidia geforce 8400 GS (this is the card i currently am using)

need anything else from me, feel free to ask.

7600GT > 8400GS
7600GT SLi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 8400GS

But must ask you one question. Do you have SLi motherboard?

Yeah i do, the motherboard came with the parts needed for sli, and it says SLI ready on the box.

so just confirming, 2 7600's would work wayyyy better than my one 8400?

Yep, the 7600 is better than the 8400 by itself

ha my dad bought this thing for me thinking it was better because it was an 8400 versus a 7600.

while i never bothered to check it, i guess i assumed the same.

Do the numbers determine the performance at all?

Probably more than double the FPS
