Two 9800GTX in SLI vs. Two 9800GTX no SLI

[Calibrator]

This question has probably been answered somewhere in these forums but I couldn't find any references about it. I have two nVidia 9800GTX's running in SLI and I am currently running the GPU2 client without any problems. Wouldn't the folding horsepower be greater with two 9800GTX's running in SLI (one client) rather than two 9800GTX's running without SLI (two clients)? I see all these posts about disabling SLI and run each card individually with two clients. So SLI isn't better for this folding appication??

Can I run the GPU2 client(s) along with the 5.03 regular client?

Thanks in advance for helping with these newbie questions.

Running two GPU client on two cards without SLI will have double the output of only running one client on two cards with SLI, unless you CPU is bogged down.
But you can run 2 or 3 GPU clients on a single CPU core without slowing them down.

When talking about FAH, SLI serves no useful purpose and it should be disabled -- though you may want it for other programs. In the beginning we said it had to be disabled but apparently it now no longer matters.
