Some of those cards support bridgeless SLI but that requires an NV43 core to make that possible. On top of that they take a serious peformance penalty in such mode.

thank you for answering, but would you be so kind as to put it into laymens terms, or better yet, a yes/no?

It sounds like you are saying YES, every nVIDIA PCIe card is SLI capable, but NO, every nVIDIA PCIe card is not SLI Certified.
