I missed the original question and don't see it in the xwin-discuss archives.
SLI works on Solaris, although it is not officially supported. However, I'm not quite certain how SLI would pertain to a VB guest running Windows. VirtualBox 3.x supports accelerated 3D in guests, but I have not tested Windows as a guest running under Solaris as a host. I'm most concerned about expectations for Direct3D in this case. Are you just looking for OpenGL behavior or Direct3D also?
