No you can not run them in SLI. Even if you could a current gen mid-range card would be faster than the two of them together.

You can use the same processor just not the ram

AM3 or AM3+ would let you use AM2 Chipset there would be a list of CPU qualifacations that would work on that board if you are going that route
