Or as Anandtech says:
Hell Freezes Over: NVIDIA Announces Native SLI Support for the Intel X58 Chipset
SLI enabled through BIOS without the need for a N200 bridge chip.

TechReport: Nvidia to enable native SLI on certified X58 motherboards
PC Perspective: Bombshell of NVISION08: SLI goes native on Intel X58
It will be interesting to see what the price differential between the standard X58 and the SLI "certified" versions will be like.

Will board MFGRs think about using the SLI "certified" option on the just higher end boards?
Think Asus RAMPAGE FORMULA $300 and Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 $280 vs Asus P5E Deluxe $220 and Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4 $225.
Could you update an Asus P5E Deluxe with Asus RAMPAGE FORMULA BIOS and get SLI for "free"?

But Nvidia doesn't plan to extend the SLI option to AMD motherboards. AMD cannot get software SLI
