Re: 2-->3 SLI scaling. I found the exact same when going from 1-->2; there just wasn't much performance gain in 3DMark06. I don't think it uses SLI very well at all.

Anyone:

I read that a lot of people put their RAM voltage to 2.1v, citing "that's what it is rated for". I tried this with both my P5N32-E SLI and this Striker II - neither worked out very well. Is there something else I'm missing? Does it even help?
Q6600: Well, of course it depends. I was limited initially by using 4GB RAM and couldnt for some reason get higher than 3300 at the most. Then I switched to E6600 (and 2 GB) which I'm running at 3600 without any problems. I think 3.6 is doable on a quad, yes, with the right settings. For what it's worth, I've been able to reach a FSB of 470 on this board.

SLI: my results
1x 8800GTX: 12624
2x 8800GTX: 15314
3x 8800GTX: 15737
However I see decent scaling from 2 to 3-SLI in some games, e.g. crysis and WIC.
