    I know for a fact that you can already run Quad SLI with the Asus A8N-32 939 board..

    If you buy:
    2 x Asus Dual GPU 7900GTX 512MB (2 7900GTX on One Card, then run them in SLI)
    1 x Asus A8N-32 939 Motherboard or whatever it is.. (the only motherboard that allows you to run this Quad SLI (or equivelant)

    Goto TomsHardware.com and you can find out about getting this to work, apparnetly its very easy..

    Well for those that can afford it I guess the longevity and 32xAA would be enough of a perk, but it's pretty much CPU limeted anyway.

    When the PPU's come out they will handle all the physics of the PC taking a ton of load off the CPU(I've heard you can run Farcry on a 700MHZ CPU but don't know how true that is, even though if it is that's pretty amazing).

    I suspect we should be able to make great use of Quad SLi at WQXGA resolutions, 32xAA/16xAF and deceny framerates when PPU's are out and about.

    Then again no monitor can refresh above 45Hz at WQXGA resolution so effectively you get a cap of 45fps which to some is OK but too hardcore gamers anything below 60fps would be unacceptable(consider its the hardcore gamers buying quad Sli too).

    You'd only have the 45FPS limit at a 45Hz refresh rate if you enabled Vsync.
