Personally, I don't think so. And I definitely don't think anybody like the typical Lurker would be thinking too much about SLi. Single card solutions are more economical in every sense until you get to two 6800 Ultras, and then you're talking about ridiculous amounts of graphics power that will be wasted on playing WoW.
an x800XL is more than enough power to run WoW at 1600x1200 with all the goodies and it's only $300 (I should know, because it's faster than an x800Pro, and that is what I use to run WoW at 1600x1200 with LOTS of graphical goodies). A 6600GT is only $200 and can probably do 1280x1024 with all the goodies, and 1600x1200 if you turn down some options. Nobody who is currently primarily playing WoW should even be thinking about SLi.
