<<The SLI was one of the smartest things 3Dfx had done and I hate to see that idea vanish.>>

I have to disagree. The cost/benefit is no longer there. SLI would require two boards and double the memory (but only half that effective memory). It would be much less costly to use a form of internal parallelism than go that route. I'm sure we'll see some of this in Rampage. It may be a multi-chip solution if they feel they can't fit a dual or triple pipeline onto the chip. (I got this info a while back from the 3dfx newsgroup and posted it to this board.)
