SLi is only related to graphic cards.
Requirement of SLi
Two identical PCI-E graphic cards
A motherboard that has 2 PCI-E 16x slot (meaning, it has two slots for graphic card, which also means you can slot in two graphic cards on that motherboard)
That's all, every other part of the motherboard is just like any other motherboard. RAM and processor has nothing to do with SLi.
Any RAM can that is supported by your motherboard can run, which has nothing to do with SLi or not.
Yes KINGSTON value ram or any other brands can run on your system.
Just keep in mind, SLi only concerns your motherboard support for nVidia graphic cards, it doesn't concerns the RAM or CPU.

As long as your existing memory sticks are DDR2 modules they should work fine, however, if they were from an earlier motherboard and are only DDR memory they won't fit. DDR memory modules are 184pin connections and DDR2 is 240pin. With the advent of the AM2 chipset AMD configured motherboards use DDR2, older AMD processors were 940, 939, or 754 pin processors and they used DDR memory sticks. Just make sure you have 240pin DDR2 memory modules and not the 184pin DDR series and you should be fine.

You could but, second to your video card, ram is the most important in gaming so, if youre gonna spend money running 2 video cards you should use high-performance gaming ram.
Lots of rebates out now on high-end ram so it wouldn't be that much more. I suggest XMS(Corsair) in the CAS4 flavor.
