I don't believe so but starting with the Intel X58 chipset it will!

Intel X58 chipset: from what I have been reading is that Nvidia is going to charge you to run SLI on a Intel board. So it might happen but you will have to pay up for it. I can't say for sure, but those are the rummors I have been hearing.

i believe that just means they are charging the motherboard vendors to put a bridge chip on their boards, but i could be wrong

Yeah, the vendors will be passing the bill on to the consumer though.
