SLI Question...

Yes, you'd have to use CoolBits to enable SLI with different memory sizes and the 512MB card would effectively work as a 256MB card.

That said, you're far better off selling the card you have now for $50 or so and picking up a Radeon HD 3850 for around $150, or if you're willing to spend a bit more, a 512MB 8800 GT for around $230. Even in SLI the 8600 series cards cannot keep up with the higher end single cards.
