For what I like is their Multi-card SLI technology. That's mean you won't waste your 9600 if 1 days you got upgrade to Higher GC.

Yup, you can SLI 2 cards, then run another additional card to fo PhysX acceleration too,

eg.
Card 1 9800GT - SLI
Card 2 9800GT - SLI
Card 3 9600GT - PhysX

works with 8xxx and above.

Yes, that's a big advantage if PhysX really takes off.

That was the whole idea of SLI, but too bad, by the time you feel the need to upgrade, your card is probably obselete already

That's why the motherboard have to come with 3 / 4 PCI express slot.

Then, we can put the Obsolete card to the empty slot to enhanced the High-end card.
