Looks like just slightly past 30k,

30,499 - '05
74,983 - '03
92,007 - '01


On the last page he turned out a 17,481 in '06 with single 8800 GTX. With that kind of a single card score I would expect SLI scores approaching 26k-30k so I think those SLI scores may still be CPU limited.

That's like buying a Ferrari and only using it on a dyno. Cripes, build a system and use it for something like games or photoshop or whatever...

No, it's like buying a Ferrari and winning races with it, actually. It's like a competition for nerds and the like.

It's the driver, nVidia hasn't release a driver yet for proper 8800-series SLI.

That could defiantly be the case. I also don't think it would hurt to move the benchmarking resolution up to 1600 x 1200 or higher.
