SLi on 6800GT

So can someone explain to me the point of SLI on my 6800GT AGP card I thought this was for PCIe, and as far as I can tell there's no possiblity of an AGP to PCIe converter, so what's the point of of SLI on an AGP card if you can't use it?

Didn't know that the AGP 6800 GT could handle SLI.

According to some previews of nforce4 tech. this week, SLI is PCI-e only because of the limitations of the AGP bus. It would have required a totally redesigned solution for AGP to work with SLI apparently and that would spell doom for nvidia.

The SLI GT (can't remember which variety) performace is supposed to be higher than 6800 Ultra's though so is a good idea to go for being that 3 GT cards is less than one 6800 ultra (perf. according to numbers released by nvidia, but several sites confirmed the numbers with a ref. nforce4 board.)

I know in my drivers I saw that my card was SLI capable, now I'm looking and I don't see it and you guys are right in that I don't see the SLI connector on top, I don't get it, guess I should lay off the crack.
