SLI is useless for XSI, cause you cannot use 2 monitor.

Not to hog this thread but:
does anyone know if using two cards link with the sli "thingy" makes a
difference in xsi, and does it make enough of a difference to warrant
the extra cost. I'm looking into the dell xps m1730 and they have an
option to run two graphics cards with sli, but I've never tested the sli
theory in xsi
