Although Vista will use a single card, Vista does not support SLI mode.
SLI improves performance by as much as 80%
Is MS planning to fix this?

This is really an Nvidia issue. The talk is that 7 series SLI support will
happen sometime in March.

That's good, I have a 7959 x2 video card(s).
Now, my Asus M2N32-sli Deluxe MB needs a SOUND driver, and I'm ready to go
with Vista.

Nvidia already have SLI support on Vista in the latest 100.65 driver
(GeForce 8800 GPUs only)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_100.65.html
It is beta status only

That's nice, but I have a 7959 x2 video card(s).

If that is a realtek AC97 sound card, you can get vista supported drivers
from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/, I've leaded them on 3 different
systems and so far so good

I'm not sure how easily to tell, but the sound might be integrated on the
board.
The control panel says: "SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio"
What does that tell you??

Ah! the elusive additional information about your issue.
Tricky one this if they are just putting beta support for the 8xxx series
out now - give the propensity to now deprecate support for lower model cards
unless there are other plans in the works that would result in SLI on Vista
on the 7xxx after the 8xxx is done then you may not get a driver that
provides that support or if you do it will be later this year.
