New Graphics card or 2nd to go sli?

i am currently running an 8800GT 512Mb would it be more worth it to buy a 2nd card and go sli for another 60£ or to ditch the card and buy a new one?

I vote for a new single card, although I am still very happy with my 8800GT.

Will it be used in the motherboard in your sig, if yes you can only go Crossfire with that board.
It might be worth looking at the ATI 4850 or 4870.

you can probably still go crossfire on the board. you don't have to wait to be able to afford a 4870x2.
