Christo SLI is a patent by Nvidia so they are the only cards that will use it (6600GT,6800 etc) |

this is true, however buying a SLI board and two 6600 or 6800 cards is still
not worth the money right now because no motherboard would support x16 on two cards that is 32x for PCI-Express and current configurations only support 20x so you have to run the cards at 10x so why spend 800bucks when the performance isn't that much greater then one card? |

yeqah i guess thats true, maybe a BIOS update later on will have 30x instead
of 20x, so that ppl don't have to spend 2-3 hundred on a new Mobo |
