    Will windows vista support SLI (dual graphic chip) to do its new user interface e.g. aero, flip 3D, etc.?

    I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that Windows Vista will support SLI. In fact, if Vista does not support SLI, you have permission to beat me with a baseball bat. It would be suicidal for Microsoft to specifically block out the increasingly-popular dual-GPU setup, especially when their interface is so intensive, so it's really just up to nVidia to write the drivers.

    And especially as Vista is being set up as "THE gaming platform," between DX10 and Live Anywhere.
