Indeed we do, and that is how it should be
I still, just kinda get the feeling the SLI license is more about AMD/ATI's CF license and wide support for Intel, than the problem about nVIDIA's own chipset sales.
Also, does AMD/ATI support CF for nVIDIA's SLI chipsets? I don't believe they do, and so they are also being restrictive as well.
nVIDIA being the strong GPU maker, and Intel being the strong CPU maker, a partnership would serve both well, to diminish their common enemy / competition: AMD / ATI. I also believe, that in the interest of money, that Intel and nVIDIA will strike some deal, that'll serve them both well. Even better, they could evolve features to new heights.
