depending what games you play and what res, id prob look to upgrade everything in the future rather than SLI anyhow

SLI does seem good for v.High res's and high detail mind

I'm not sure but 8800GTX you will struggle at some games like is Stalker,Crysis or Metro....
Due this i would recommend buy 2x ATi HD5770 and ASUS or Biostar motherboards are good,but for more RAM you will need XP 64bit or W7 64bit.
32bit XP can utilize maximum 2.80GB RAM

If you wish to retain that chip then your best off upgrading the memory, os and graphics card (and power supply to one that can accept the connections on the more powerful cards available), otherwise your options are to upgrade the lot.

Asus P5 series would do, BUT two cards in SLI is a driver nightmare, sell the GPU on ebay and uprade to a GTX460 or better if you have the cash.

More ram is only useful if you go to a 64-bit OS, and your GPU maps in to the first 4 Gb as well.
