7600GT x 2 Sli or 7900GTX single?

Hello everyone. I was browsing craigslist last week and found a 7900GTX video card for $20. Got it installed it Played. Well tonight I was on craigslist again and found a 7600GT that the person wanted to trade for some DDR2 ram. Just so happens that I had 2 GB laying around. I offered and they accepted. When I got there they told me that they actually had 2 cards and gave me both of them. Well Now i would really like to know. Should I run the 7600's in sli or the single 7900? what would be better? the 7900GTX has 512MB of ram and the 7600GT has half that 256MB so this is a toss up.

The single 7900GTX is faster. Plus the two 7600GT's would draw more power.

I believe that SLI only works with identical cards. Maybe you can sell the others as a pair.
