hey my specs are below I was just wondering about adding another video card and going sli, I had this built in 2008 and really I was intending to buy 2 gtx9800 but only got the one. Now I am not sure if I should pair up and go sli, or if i should or can even get an upgraded card that my motherboard will handle and will run sli with the 9800gtx.
or am I just better off to get rid of the 9800gtx and go new?
I primarly just play starcraft 2 and want something nice as well for the upcoming diablo 3, but with 512mb of memory it is sometimes choppy at the very start or missions, I just want to have these games smooth. Also I wonder if my ram is a problem, it is pc8500 ocz nvidea sli ram 2x1gb sticks, but its only detecting pc5300. and running at 333mhz. Im really really stumped.
thanks for any input you might have!
