Intel would support SLI if nvidia let them. This may change though. I haven't been following the story recently, but Intel had been refusing to let nvidia make chipsets for intels next gen of chips, presumably in response to nvidia restricting SLI. Maybe they'll come to some type of agreement.
Really sux...in protest I think my next vid card purchase will be AMD/ATI
who am I kidding
Well I dunno if anyone knows but it's already been stated that there will be an intel motherboard that supports SLI.... the skulltrail. The only bad thing about it is that you have to get fb dimms on it bc it's a server type board. It's meant for gaming but uses dual Socket 771. Oh well I just can't wait to see how well the final product will be.
Doesn't make sense for nVidia to support SLI on intel chipset because they are also making cpu chipsets themselves.
Its all about cornering the market. If SLI is only supported on nVidia chipset, every user WILL have to use nVidia chipset motherboard to powerup their SLI *kaching kaching $$*
Fuad is a one man version of the broken telephone game.Faud, for the first time ever, claims he has "Proof".
its been stated by a couple rumor sites that Intels Skulltrail was looking for SLI support. No love from Nvidia for that idea. I have yet to see any official documentation stating "yes there will be SLI support on X48'.
They are working to make a move into high(er)-end graphics now. It's been well publicized.I think Intel will one day create its own video card and dominate the graphics industry!!!

Intel's Skulltrail does support SLI as has been stated in the [H] preview of it. Intel managed to get SLI support by throwing an nvidia chipset in there, too. Its no secret how they pulled it off...
bridge Nvidias MCP with ICH8? No doubt it could be done, but it would be a waste. The issue of SLI on intel systems was never one of hardware. Intel supports crossfire, and its been proven any crossfire motherboard can run two Nvidia GPUs in SLI (and vice versa).
and Intel is working on their entry-level graphics chip code named "Larabee". I don't know anything about it except for its existence. I wouldn't expect much from intels first entry on Nvidia and ATIs turf, but certainly their 2nd or 3rd crack at it autta be worth some consideration.
Skulltrail is the first and currently the only platform to support BOTH NVIDIAs SLI technology, and ATIs Crossfire technology.
Just prior to publishing this article NVIDIA informed us that the Skulltrail motherboard used two NVIDIA nForce 100 MCPs and that these MCPs enable 2-Way SLI support allowing for quad-SLI between two dual-GPU cards.
