What OS are you running? 4Gbs is largely overkill for the moment, and if you're on a 32bit OS then you're not even utilizing all 4Gbs.

Not exactly sure why you want to run SLI, it's really only meant to give significant performance increases for people who run at very high resolutions above 1980x1024.

Although if you do want to run SLI you have to know that only PCI-express cards support it, and they have to be a matching pair. For Crossfire though it's slightly different as you need a Crossfire branded card to be the primary card, and then a matching card for the secondary.

As for raptor drives, I've never really seen any sort of significant performance increase unless you have a lot of read/writes every second, and those massive amounts of read/writes generally only happen if you're running a highly accessed web server

Pick up an 8800GT, just one, and it'll run Crysis fairly well whether on DX9 or DX10 and they're fairly cheap
