SLI or CPU upgrade?

[MarkA]

Hi all,

Thoughts on the following please:

Current setup:
C2D 3GHz at defaults
Graphics card: ATI 6950
2GB RAM

Going to be playing BF3 when it comes out, all pre-ordered etc.

Would love it to be running on pretty good graphics details (have you seen the trailers??!?! )

What would you suggest as my next upgrade to ensure good gaming?

Another ATI 6950 in SLI

or board/cpu/memory upgrade?

What would be the best increase in fps? (all theoretical since the game is not actually out yet).

It may be time to try and sell the components and get myself a cheap upgrade!

That is indeed a major upgrade!

Surely the board that it comes with isn't always needed, is it? The board is around the same price as the chip
