I currently have an Athlon 64 4000+, 1 GB Corsair XMS Pro (2-2-2-5), and a 6800gt. If I wanted to increase BF2 performance, which would you go with first? Another gig of RAM or add the second 6800gt and SLI them? They're close enough in cost to look at either one.

Thanks!

I went to 2GB with only one 6800GT and it was like night and day :)

I just upped my ram to 1.5 gigs with my 6600GT and it runs so much smoother.

Dont buy another 6800gt, because you will probably want to get something new soon (7800, or whatever ati comes out with). Get 2 gb of ram.

Gig of ram is cheaper and prices are probbaly going up soon, so do that now......the video card purchase can wait and prices will only fall.

Save your money and dont buy another 6800GT...when the prices on the 7800 line drops sell your 6800GT and buy it...for right now 2GB would improve gameplay in BF2
