    Well, there's a couple of nF4 SLI boards that have been reviewed. First is one over at [H]ard|OCP, which happens to be Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe.

    The A8N-SLI has a total of 2 PCI Express x16 slots, 3 PCI slots, and 2 PCI Express x1 slots. Just below the 2 PIC-Express x1 slots is the SLI EZ connector port, in to which plugs a connector card that tells the board to enable one or both PCI-Express x16 slots. Between the left most PCI slot and the board’s edge is the standby power LED, which illuminates when an active power source is connected to the board. The onboard IEEE 1394 header is located above the power LED.

    Then, some 1337 arabians at T-Break have Gigabyte's K8NXP-SLI nForce 4 SLI board on their table.

    ...Gigabyte does a good job with the K8NXP-SLI in every aspect. The board is feature rich providing almost everything you could want out of the box. It overclocked reasonably well and general performance was as good as any high performing Atholon64 board. With time, SLI will mature and if you don’t mind giving the technology a shot, or want to have the option of adding a second card later on when the platform is stable enough, then by all means, put the K8NXP-SLI on your short list..

    Looks like there are still a few bugs to work out in SLI mode, but if you want to get into it now, Asus and Gigabyte are two companies I'd be looking very hard at.
