k lets clarify: the 9800GX2 fits into one pci express slot, but it is has two 8800series gpus in it; the 8800 series cards all have single gpus.
furthermore, sli is the linking of graphics cards via a special adapter on a sli compatible motherboard that allows both of the cards to function as a single hybrid graphics processing system (providing graphical output to only one of the cards outputs, but utilizing both cards).
the 9800GX2 series 'cards' are actually constructed from two 8800 series gpus, that are sli linked from the factory, but it only utilizes a single pci express slot, and both pcbs share a common heatsink (and face inwards). they only have the outputs from a single 8800 card.
