Hello, I recently purchased a new computer that has dual processors and dual video cards. I was wondering if SL has the capability to allowing this?

noupe, no work with dual cpu on SL, but least you can do other things without chocking  SLI does barly anything for SL to, it wont even use 1/2 of my vid card memory , prob cause i got alot of ram tho. (whats the vid ram option in SL used for o.O?) |

hehe ram/cpu, get you a long way in SL, vid card not so much, id higly recommend anyone in SL min 1 gig ram , theres a huge diffrence.
dx8.1 = no ripple water
dx9 = ripple water
thats pretty much what SL need for vid card part, oh well it want 128mb min ram to on them that help (tried it with 32/64mb once har har no fun)
1 Sim fully rendered with local light on, 20 ish avatars , textures can eat up 1200mb ram ;p

SL doesn't utilize a duel core CPU and it may not run correctly unless the affinity is set for the game. As far as SLI, it can improve any game; you just have to create your own profile. The more system ram the better but video ram above 128 is wasted from what I can see.
