From what I've heard, nVidia's SLI chipsets are buggy on AMD boards, but I could be wrong.

Also, with your card, it'd be cheaper to get a new card entirely. Paying an additional $100 for a 9800 GTX+ versus selling your card for $100 and picking up a GTX 260 216SP for $30 more. Additionally, you do game on a 19" monitor, and on that size the performance increase between a GTX+ SLI and a GTX 260 rig will be negligible; unless you're ready to upgrade to a 22" or 24" monitor, you won't need a GTX+ SLI setup.
