Sli provides flexability. I bought one of the first A8n's sold in the US. At the time the 6800GT's were not available. The plain 6800's were over $350 each and I decided to buy dual 6600gt's for $170 each. When the 6800GT's/6900GT Ultras came out, people scoffed at sli and my dual 6600gt's because their $400 video card was just as fast. I sold my 6600gt's on ebay for $100 each and bought a single 7800GT for $300 (a $100 net upgrade). I was happy then, and am happy now. But now I suppose I should scoff at folks running lessor cards in sli (as if I wanted to). Now that I have a $300 video card, I think I will wait to see the lifespan of the 7800GT before deciding to go sli or upgrade the card.
