not sure about the other card but the ram for sure, however ram for sure only if, you can't do the multi tasking you want to do, and/or you have been having issues due to lack of ram.

9800 GTX SLI quite well, my rig uses 9800GTX in SLI.
At your 19" monitor size unless you plan to upgrade monitor to the 22 - 24" size range may be less bang for buck, but if you do plan to move up in monitor size anytime soon, an added video card is a very good upgrade. two 9800GTX in sli is a quite sweet arrangement especially in games that actually have SLI support.
