If I read the article correctly, and I'm not sure that I do, you can now use dual video cards in SLI mode over the PCIe bus without an SLI interconnect bridge.

Quote:
"A new driver version released today, Forceware 77.76, enables the existing GeForce 6600 and the new 6600 LE to work in SLI configuration via the PCI Express interface without the need for an additional SLI interconnect. According to Nvidia, the LE version will be a bit slower than the regular 6600, but priced significantly lower. The company says it aims at a price between $70 and $90 for 6600 LE cards. At least in theory, this could enable system builders to offer dual-graphics card systems for less than $800. "
