If i purchase two video cards one a 8800 and a 7900 and put them on a single video card will they work as one or do you have to have the same video card.

You must have the one video card, even if you put 2 in your computer, when you started the game it would ask you wich video card you wanted to use, they dont work as one

If so, the cards must have the same GPU. So an GeForce 8800 will only work with another GeForce 8800, although it may be any brand.

If you have that much money....~1400$ have fun.It doesn't make any sense to waste so much money.You will never need that much processing power.No game supports it right now.

Worry about the Now. Vista is going to be relaesed sometime next year, so go for a solid card that would support both.
