That pretty much only depends on NVIDIA, they will have to allow SLI on other chip sets beside their own or certified by them. Do we have any non-NVIDIA socket 775 chip sets that support SLI? I guess not. Socket 775 will be where the competition is for AMD, Core i7 is a step to far to reach for AMD at the moment.
