What are some common issues people might have when using two way SLI? When playing warhead I see a ghost image. It is kind of like two images on top of eachother. Also when Iook at the gpu clock speeds they are at 301??

I have never seen ghosting with SLI or seen complaints that it is a common problem. I would try disabling SLI to see if it goes away - my guess is that it won't, but I have been wrong before. (You can disable it in the NVidia Control Panel).
 
As for the gpu clock speed at 301, NVidia cards downclock when not under load to save energy and reduce temperature. It will spike back up as soon as you start doing anything. It does this whether you have SLI or not and is normal. Similar to Intel speedstep on the CPU.
