    Need some definitive answers...

    I've been reading forums all around the web about how nVidia's SLi just doesn't work in widescreen resolutions(like with the Dell 2405fpw). If this is true, then this pretty much kills getting an SLI board for me now, might as well wait until this issue is cleared up(whenever that may be!)...
