(Thanx for everyones comments)
Quad SLI has been available for over a year, using dual 7950GX2's, of course Nvidia will most likely screw this generation of Quad SLI users like they screwed us over a year ago

Oh, no. I more meant Quad SLi, as in, 4 cards. Not 2x a dual GPU card.

Actually there was a limited supply of a Dell system that had 4 cards in a Quad SLi format. It was a monster gaming rig that had only like 500 made if that.

Read that articel from Jan of 2006. It was a reality 2 years ago now since CES is already taking place right now.

There is another article. So ATi is not the first. This system was out 2 years ago but it was not made for public use.

Actually that system was madefor public use the first generation Quad SLI used 7900GX2 cards, the second Gen cards were the 7950GX2, i know consumers could purchase these because i bought one from Alienware, since at the time Enthusiasts couldn't build QuadSLI rigs themselves we had to order from a company.

That is what i meant. You could order them but not build them back in 2006. Sorry i wasnt that clear on that. They must have been monsters...

lol at them being monsters, quad-sli flopped nasty w/ the 7900/7950gx2... driver support held them back.... so they didnt get anywhere.. was what seemed fine w/ a single card... but adding in the 2nd one was a nightmare
