FYI: FPS comparison nVidia 6600GT SLi vs 8800GTX

I'm posting this FYI.
Just got a new 8800GTX with 768 MB onboard. Previously had x2 6600GT 256MB in SLi mode.

My computer is a measly:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
2GB RAM
Western Dig 200GB 7200 RPM HDD.
So really nothing to look to cause much drooling.

The results:
x2 6600GT SLi : 10-15FPS with all setting at minimum. AA had to be set to x2 at most after patch 1.2 was released. (any higher and it crashes)

8800GTX: 50-70 FPS with all options at full with AA set at x16.

A very huge performace improvement. And this coming from a SINGLE vid card that was replacing a SLi mode. Technology has come a long way in a matter of 18 months.
Thought some ppl out there would like to see these kind of results (especially those with mediocre machines like mine)

I'm also running the game at 1680x1050 on the 8800. The 6600's would run at 1600x900
