Best alternative compared to a GTX 285?
Since GTX 2XX cards aren't supported yet, which is the best alternative?
Would two Gainward 9800GT 1GB in SLI be a good choice? I'm basically looking for the most powerful, supported video-card avaliable.

Ok, the EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB seems well supported, I could go with it as long as it has good preformance in gaming. Surely someone could assist me with some anwsers on this one. Does 10.5.6 for example support it in SLI (there wasn't any info about this in the x86 hardware compatibility list)? And is there any big advantages of OpenGL 3.0 compared to 2.1?

Thanks for the reply lateralusman, I appreciate it! That will be the card for me then, more specifically this one; http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=95735 One more thing though, do you know if I can run these in SLI without any problems?
