Yes, that's done by Alienware for their high-end gaming machines.

They used nVidia's SLI technology based cards, and these cards will go into a PCI-X slot. Pretty exciting that tech. seems to be.

actually, Nvidia's SLI is a different technology from Alienware's implementation. Alienware works with ANY pci-e videocard, and it's a external solution (i dunno, some adapter or something); while Nvidia's SLI is native. Appears, all latest gen pci-e nvidia videocards (6800 & new 6600) include sli connector. By default, nvidia's solution is better because there is less overhead, and it will work with any mobo that has 2 pci-e slots but with future ones only (like nforce 4). Right now, only high-end intel server mobo has those 2 slots.

Hopefully, early next year u would be able to afford cheapo sli with 2 6600's that would yield 512mb videomemory and about 16-18k in 3dmark03. with 6800 it'd be faster but much more expensive :rolleyes:

Oh, and doesn't this belong in a different forum? :)

someone corrected me a few posts ago, what you want to say it's PCI-E(xpress) PCI-X it's only an attribute of servers and all the people mistakes them :)
