Has anybody else seen this?

Hey Experts,

I am planning a new build after the Intel price cuts later this month and was planning on the MSI P6N Diamond 680i SLI mobo.

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813130080

I chose this board mainly because it supports 1333 FSB and supports SLI (2x16), both items features that I think will help future proof the board for some time. I don't plan on doing SLI in the initial build but I figure that down the road a quick way to get added performance would be to SLI.

Anyway, I was looking at MSIs website and saw this:
"SLI Technology only supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP"

I don't plan to use Vista yet, but now I am concerned that if down the road I decide I want to SLI, the board might exclude me from moving to Vista if I wanted to. I guess a driver update could rectify that situation, but who knows for sure.

Has anybody else seen this and would it scare anybody off?

Thanks in advance!

I've read some excellent reviews about this mobo.

SLI does work on Vista these days, just not as well as on XP. Spend a year on XP and in the meantime nVidia will fix the bugs in the SLI drivers for Vista and optimize them properly.

You may also want to look at Gigabyte GA-N680i-DQ6.
