Can you post the model of your monitor. Having a max resolution of 1440x900 doesn't sound right for a 19" monitor. As far as sli at that resolution, save your money.

Er, for the resolution you have, no. If you had a 1680x1050, then I would give you a big yes, but 1440x900 and 1280x1024 are similar resolutions and don't require SLI. Even 1680x1050 usually doesn't require SLI, but it's usually the starting point resolution. What is your CPU clocked to?

For a 19" widescreen? Yes, that's a very common resolution for that size of a monitor.

Bah, you're right. For some reason, I was thinking it was low because it's lower than my smaller LCDs. However, they're 22"
