SLI or Ram?

[Nightvision]

Well I've pretty much got my new computer down to what I want

Intel 3.6 GHz Presscott 2 MB 800FSB EM64T
- Zalman Copper CNPS7700-Cu (Heatsink/fan cpu)
Asus P5ND2-SLI motherboard
OCZ 520W Powersupply
200 GB Harddrive
DVD and DVD-RW

Currently I have a Samsung 912N 19" LCD Monitor which I love but as with most LCD's it's max resolution is 1280x1024

Now here's my question. Which would be better for me

2x MSI 7800gtx's (SLI) but only 1 GB RAM

or

1x MSI 7800gtx but with 2 GB RAM.

I know it'd be best to have 2 7800's and 2 GB RAM but I have to sacarfice one or the other. Can anyone tell me what I should go with? I don't think I'll be getting a CRT in the near future and will probably remain with the LCD monitors.

But any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Id go ram.

Another vote for ram. Outside of benchmarks, i don't htink youd see $500 worth of improvement going SLI using those resolutions.

Yeah, buy the other card later when you'll need it. That's three votes for ram.

Just forgot: If you went for the sli, then it's only 512 per card.

At that resolution, I think it would be better with 2GB of RAM.
