Native SLI Support for the Intel X58 Chipset

What a good news :)

It's mean that in Q4 of 2008, we can easily build a desktop computer with Intel Bloomfield CPU (45nm, 4 cores, integrated memory controller) and two Nvidia GT200b cards (55nm, 480 stream processors @ 1620MHz, 2G DDR5).

It's more than two Tera FLOPS (1166 x 2 GFLOPS from GPUs plus CPU power). We can make many things (impossible for current desktops) happen with that computing power.
