MSI GeForce 6600 GT PCIe SLI Performance Review @ HardwareZone

"Days after SLI was publicly announced, NVIDIA hinted its next version of Media Communication Processors (MCPs) would include support for SLI technology. True enough, the nForce4 MCPs were launched recently and basically built upon the foundation of the nForce3 Ultra, but this time it supports the PCI Express I/O interface. There are currently three variations of this new MCP:- NVIDIA nForce4, NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra and NVIDIA nForce4 SLI. The basic nForce4 was designed for regular Athlon 64 Socket-939 systems with a PCIe I/O subsystem."
In an unrelated note while I was chatting with the guys from nVidia at Computex I stumbled over the SLI topic (in 3dfx terms) and asked if it was possible to link two PCI Express video cards in a similar manner. The guys were rather taken back by the question but answered properly by saying "there was nothing in the spec that says you can't”. I really didn’t think much of it though was rather intrigued by their reaction. About 3 weeks later they made the SLI announcement which of course tied everything together.

All I can say is "Damn, can I guess this shite or what?".
