    If you were to upgrade, would you get a second SLI card or double your memory from 1GB to 2GB? What's best bang for you buck assuming you already have a decent Nvidia graphics card?

    SLI isn't so great, and doesn't work with alot of games. I'd get more memory.

    I'll third that. I don't really see a point for SLI at this point of time. Go for the memory, I recently increased my RAM from 1GB to 2GB and the difference in performance was amazing.

    Cheers,
