this is just because of the qpi link, and few people use 3-way sli, even SLI isnt used a lot
333MHz FSB is more than enough for desktop apps.

we have a feeling that the overall performance impact will be similarly unimpressive given the relatively limited number of desktop applications that can take full advantage of four cores.
There is hardly any difference between 1066MHz FSB and 1333MHz FSB, according to Anand, 1.9% difference, what makes you think it's just sorely the QPI link that is allowing SLI to perform so well?

I wonder why SLI/Crossfire with an AMD platform under performs compared to an Intel platform. According to you, it's just the hyper transport, right?
