Hey guys,
I have had my built computer for a while now ~1.5 years and I have a question about crossfire compatability.
There is a sale on 5850's for 140 bucks

I currently have an older 5850 that I originally purchased:

So my question is, should I invest the money to put my 5850 up on crossfire (and for that matter is it compatible), or should I look into OC (which I have no idea how to do) the older one to bring up the speed a bit.
My current Rig:
