Check it out for yourself....That site is EXCELLENT for hardware reviews. No bullshit, hands down.
I also agree with Lasereth. For $2k, you could wait for a mother board with the NVidia SLi technology (should be on the NForce4 boards i believe). It enables multi-gpu's on your motherboard. Could you imagine 2 6800 Ultra's?? You can set up the video cards up to manage the video to one monitor, here's an excerpt from an article on Tomshardware.

In SFR Mode the display is split in two. Card 1 computes the upper part of the screen and the second card the lower part. Thanks to load balancing, the driver takes care of equalizing the load the two cards receive as much as possible.
