SLI is using multiple NVidia video cards in conjunction with one another to increase performance.

You don't necessarily need 600W, (Although it does matter which cards you're using and how many), its just recommended by NVidia so nobody can complain. Furthermore, the brand and model of the power supply you're using should be taken into consideration.

yeah.. does it also say radeon on the box? u're not making this very easy for any buyers i googled around a bit, my google skills might be pretty poor i couldn't find any 512 mbyte versions of the 8800 gs... however i found out that it's actually newer than 8800 gt 512 mb version, (important to note is that there is an 8800 gt, gts whatever with 320 or 640 mbyte memory, but those are older and performs much worse) but made to be cheaper, so it's not performing too well and i woudn't recommend this for anyone who wants to make sure he can play starcraft2 with satisfying graphics, it will certainly run it but my guess is not too well. I myself wouldn't have gone for anything short of a geforce 8800 gt/gts/gtx (512 mb version, not the older ones!) or radeon 3870. Which seems likely to be able to handle starcraft 2 well.
