According to Nvidia "1 NVIDIA SLI Technology is not
available on GeForce 8400 GPUs."

What's he looking for, the worlds slowest SLI setup?

Have him look at the charts he

The 8400 is so low, it isn't even on the chart :-)
Twice nothing is... nothing.

The advertising copy for one 8400GS, says 256MB on board,
and 512MB total, which means it is using Turbocache and
stealing some of main memory.

A single card, with more texture memory, might be a better plan.

This 8600GT is less than the price of two 8400GS. $110 (minus $10 rebate).
