      basic specs
      3.2 dual (amd 6400+ BE)
      8GB ddr2 OCZ
      3x 10k HDD in Raid0

      Yes it does. SLI has been supported for a long time.

      I thought that wow only utilizes SLI or Crossfire when one card is maxed and only then will it draw resources from the second card. So basically to get both cards operating, they would have to be some pretty crappy cards.

      This could be outdated info, I have not looked into it recently. Furthermore, im not sure how this effects multiple instances of WoW.

      Your GPU is def. your bottleneck, a single 5850 or some such would suite you just fine it would seem.

      I was looking at a sli setup for my new box, could not find anything from Blizz saying sli is supported by WoW. All forum posts I read say it isn't supported. Anyone who setup and sli rig noticed no difference in performance what so ever, I suggest it isn't supported or works so badly no-one notices.

      Are you able to find anything from Blizz saying sli works in WoW ? I'd love to run it in sli.

      It seems like this is integrated graphics ( Shared resources ) Is this a desktop or laptop? If it is a desktop, do you know if you have an open graphics port? This would certainly help you in deciding on an upgrade.

      This is taken from wow support;

      Are SLI or XFIRE features supported for multiple video cards?
      Yes, these are supported features although that does not necessarily translate to higher performance.

      In other words, yes it works, but no it doesn't

      So basically, we have implemented all features of SLI, but it does fuck all.
