I know Vista does not support SLI but is there any known timescale as to when it will? I am looking at the Alienware Area 51 M9750 which has the option of Nvidia 7950GTX Sli. It seems to be a fantastic machine with awesome power. I am not too bothered about direct x 10 because most games released in the next 12 months or so will no doubt work using direct x 9 and still look amazing - but I don't see the point in having two cards in a machine if Vista only utilises one of them. Vista has been around long enough in beta & release version for this to of been fixed by now. As good as Vista sounds not having Sli support is a backward step. Between Nvidia & Microsoft this really should of been sorted.

Yeah, thats how you, me, and the rest of the planet feels.
I'm on the verge of buying an SLI lappy as well.
I've been told anywhere from the end of July to the beginning of Winter.
Though Vista 32bit does have very buggy BETA drivers for SLI'd DX9 cards. And the nvidia published beta doesnt specify notebook/desktop- so expect them to work even less reliably on a laptop.
I'm getting mine with XP Pro, since DX10 is a joke right now, and Vista only titles suck.
