Default Cheapest/Best Value SLI Cards?

What's the cheapest set of cards I can run SLI and still get great performance? Maybe the 8600?

I would go for something like...
EVGA GeForce 9800 GT Video Card - 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV 512-P3-N975-AR at CompUSA.com

Seems to be alot of bang for the buck...

At less than $200 a card you can't beat the Price/Performance Value of the 9800GTX
Newegg.com - ZOTAC ZT-98XES2P-FSP GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

Any particular reason you want SLi? There's really no point in going for anything less than a 9600GT, and only if your screen resolution is 1680x1050 or above.

I don't actually want SLI, I'm just curious.

SLI is more of a headache than it is worth. Unless you are gonna run 64 bit os, say good bye to your ram. I suggest investing in a good single card. They are cheaper and you get more or less the same performance. Also it is easier on your PSU.

But since you are just curious, 8600GT seems to be a good value card.
