And I have all the good (real) flight sims...

Also you buy twice the memory but you don't get it, each card needs to hold the same thing in memory.

If one day I want 3 screens, I'll buy 3 cards and link the desktops, no need for SLI here either.

In short, buy a good almost top of the line card that would have cost the same as two crappy cards and sleep tight.

My two cents.

PS: What kind of experience do you have with other programs and SLI/Crossfire ?

Not true. SLI works if it is supported by the game. I generally get up to 50% boost. If you get nothing you are probably playing sims that do not support it (FSX, BMS, and older ones do not, RoF and DCS does work). If thesims you have do support it, then you must be doing something wrong (Its not turned on or your bridge is loose or something).

True about the memory.
