"If you're an SLI aficionado and tempted by an upcoming AMD Zambezi CPU with associated 990FX or 990X platform, word has it that NVIDIA is planning to bring official SLI support to certain AMD 9-series powered mainboard solutions.
The slide below indicates that SLI support on designated AMD chipsets will be akin to that on Intel powered solutions, and will only apply to offerings from current SLI licensees."

Apparently, the 990FX chipset will be able to support either 2-way or 3-way SLI, whilst the 990X will go 2-way only.
There's no indication as to whether the 970 chipset will provide SLI support, and it's told that NVIDIA's plans don't extend to AMD's current 7 and 8 series platforms.

AWESOME! Now if I decide to switch over to the green team I won't have to switch Motherboards. (That is if I buy a 990FX.)
