Chipset: Ok-ok, no sli, peace.

or

Driver asks: Chipset model?
Chipset: Intel 5400
Driver: Go away, blocked chipset detected.
Chipset: WTF, i have NF200 chips here, and paid for sli.
Driver: Huh, ok.
Driver asks videocards: Model names?
GPU1: GTX 285, xxx sp, xxxx memory, xxx gpu clocks, xxxx mem clocks.
GPU2: GTX 280, xxx sp, yyyy memory, yyy gpu clocks, zzzz mem clocks.
Driver: WTF, blocked combination, go away

And so on.
If we just answer any correct words to driver - then all that check-only fuctions will be passed, and driver core itself enable everything.

That's my idea, but I think it's quite close to real checks.
That's pretty much spot on, but IME the driver isn't even aware of the card specs, only that the model strings match.
