I have a dual opteron 246, 7800GT with 2G ram (4 slots still open).

Do I get: 2 x (some processor) ? for better gaming ? Another 7800GT?

My playing current queue looks like:

Doom3
fear
max payne2
battlefield 1942/Desert combat
neverwinter nights.
Farcry

Suggestions appreciated!
 
Well..unless your FPS leaves something to be desired...or you want to turn up the eye candy some more...I'd leave it.
 
I think you're honestly fine. I'm not sure how a X2 fairs against 2x Opterons, but with that setup, I think you're set for awhile.

The only reason I see in grabbing a 2nd 7800GT is for SLI and ensuring you don't have to upgrade for awhile, at least until 8-series (if you sell the cards that is) or even later on...

I was thinking that maybe my 2.0ghz opterons were limiting my framerate in doom3. I get the same framerate drops at 1280x1024 as I do at 1600x1200 (no AA/AF). I think I've seen it drop into the low to mid 40's before. Most of the time it is at 60 though. I'm guessing the real question is how it does in Fear.
