Hello, I have a Q6600 at 2.4 and 2gb ram with a ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 1GB. Do you think I Should get another ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 as I can support 2 cards? and What sound card should I get because I need one for gaming but which will also work on the front ports of my antec 900 so I can use my headset/mic? and is it worth it updating to 4gb as I have 64bit vista? also can someone help me find a good monitor for gaming 20-22"?

No i don't think you should get another HD3870X2 when the HD48xx series has arrived. Either wait for the HD4870X2 or get 2 x HD4870, if you can afford it.

Yes it's worth adding 2 GB of RAM, especially for Vista.

As for a monitor, the Samsung 2253BW and LG L226WTY-BF are very good. They're both 22".
