Hi folks,

I have quite a new rig, specs below:

Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650 (Socket 775)
Intel Core 2 DUO E6400 "LGA775 Allendale"
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX (2x1GB)
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 640MB GDDR3
Enermax Liberty 500W ELT500AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU

I got onto the Crysis Multiplayer BETA and im noticing a drop in framerate to 15 - 20. Granted its only in BETA and I am playing on full setting as there is an issue if I try to go lower!!! (looks amazing by the way!!)

Im overclocking using the presets on my MoBo....so im at 20% overclock I think. Which of the following is a good idea....which is a bad idea to boost performance:

a) Add second Graphics card, please note they would be only running SLI in 8X mode as this is all my MoBo can do.
b) Add more RAM, will this make much difference?

Cheers,

Justin
