| Knock on wood, My SLI PC works now I hope I dont jinx myself but after BSOD's, freezes and hard lockups trying to play BF2 in SLI mode (BF2 working only with one 7800gtx) I was finally able to play BF2 for about 30 minutes until I stopped playing, my solution?, a PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 1KW PSU. I had a PC Power & Cooling 510 SLI PSU but after calculating I needed 578 watt PSU I now confirmed what I had already thought was the problem that I needed a bigger PSU, even the PC Power & Cooling 510 wasnt enough. So far so good.  I used this calculator http://www.extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp

Thanks, I know they say you cant really tell any small frames per second or graphics increase and I agree BUT man finally seeing these two 7800 GTX in SLI mode was awesome.
