No, and I don't plan to. Why? A SLI board costs far more, about 100 more, than a regular nForce 4 board. Second, the performance gap between an X850XT and dual 6600's is very slight. Third, if I got dual 6800's, it would cost me another $400. So, it would cost another $500 for me to get SLI. With the graphics you get, it's not worth it.
In SLI, the cards aren't used to their potential anyway. You would think that dual 6600's would be twice as fast as one, but that's not the case. There's maybe a 50% max increase in graphics.
SLI is great if you have extra cash, but the X850XT is currently the fastest and most powerful video card on the market, excluding 3D-labs cards. I wouldn't say much is a 'ton' better...
