Is it supported on gpugrid? I know its not on folding. I would like to buy one of the more exspensive or newer versions. I haven't looked into it, but I read on folding forum that it was not supported due to their lack of programming. I do have sli machines, but then again ive never had a mac os. going on 28 years now.

Adding to what SK said: SLI is about games. It's not being used in general number crunching (not due to lacking programming skills from the Folding guys). One could make several GPUs work on the same WU, but running 1 WU on each GPU is much simpler (what GPU-Grid, all other BOINC projects and Folding does).
