Overview

With speed freaks and hardcore gamers in mind, we build each Widow IX2 SLI from the best benchmark-smashing components in the industry. Choose an Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6850, a solid state drive, dual nVidia GeForce video cards and more. You can even have our in-house mad scientists overclock your IX2 for even more pixel-pushing velocity.

PC Gamer Calls It “Faster than Nature Intended”

More fps per GHz. That what we’re after. Speed where it counts. And that’s where the Widow IX2 SLI delivers. A December 2007 PC Gamer review of this dream rig deemed it “faster than nature intended.” They also called it “kooky-fast,” and declared that the Widow IX2 SLI has “all the speed that gamers can use today and want for tomorrow,” making it “a snap to recommend.”

Word to Your Mother

The heart and soul of the Widow IX2 SLI is the eVGA nForce 680i SLI 775 A1 motherboard, which crushed the competition to emerge as the best-performing gaming motherboard in our performance testing. With nVidia SLI technology, two 16x PCIe GPU slots, dual-channel DDR2 memory, 7.1 channel HD audio and much more, the 680i provides a solid and expandable foundation for this gaming powerhouse.

Multiple cores. Astonishing performance.

Take no prisoners with the crazy-fast Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core Processor, which delivers energy-efficient performance, massive gaming horsepower and flat-out, gum-flapping speed. Need some numbers? Built on Intel’s 64-bit architecture, you can lock in clock speeds of up to 3 GHz with an 8 MB level 2 cache and front-side bus speeds of up to 1333 MHz.

Power to the Pixel

When it comes to the graphics cards, we choose the best and leave the rest. Pick your flavor of nVidia GeForce Series 8 GPUs, such as the nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 640Mb or maybe an eVGA 8800GTX Ultra 768MB--both factory overclocked for screaming-fast performance. GeForce cards are the industry standard for extreme performance, micro-detailed environments and larger-than-life game effects. Plus, they play nice with Microsoft Windows Vista for hassle-free fragging.

Double Your Pleasure with nVidia SLI Technology

We know what you’re thinking. If one insanely fast, overclocked graphics card is good, then wouldn’t two insanely fast, overclocked graphics cards be gooder? Roger that. nVidia SLI technology allows you to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple nVidia graphics solutions in a single system. Basically, two video cards think as one to deliver powerful, elegant and super-smooth graphics. You also get PureVideo HD for the ultimate HD movie experience on a PC.

Corsair Dominator Overclockable Memory

Sensing a trend here with the whole “overclocking” thing? We’d overclock the case if we could, and that’s why we prefer Corsair Dominator memory, which has garnered numerous Editor’s Choice awards, plus a few “Memory of the Year” accolades. Corsair engineers have developed new ways to keep memory running cool while also allowing for insane overclocking capabilities-- just one more way to crank up the speed, without sacrificing stability or reliability. Pack this baby with up to 8GB of Corsair Dominator memory.
