I'm seeing differing views on this. I had heard that NV was willing to license SLI for AMD's 9xx-series chipsets.
Here's ExcaliburPC's page. Looks like it was webcopied from Gigabyte's own site.

Notice that it lists both CrossFire and SLI.
Here's Gigabyte.us's current page.

Notice that SLI support is conspicuously missing.
What's the deal here? If this board supported SLI, I think I might get it. Anyone know for sure? Did it support SLI with early BIOS versions, but remove SLI support later on?

The plot thickens. The GA-990XA-UD3 is supposed to have SLI support.
If you look at the pictures of the board on Gigabyte's site, it shows the SLI logo on the motherboard itself.

If you look at the board pics on Newegg's site, the SLI logo is MISSING!

Although, under product details, it does have this:
"Multi-display support with 2 way SLI and 2 way CrossFireX"
