Well there is quite a bit of truth in that saying (I didn't make it up by any means)...

Did you know that in Utah, it's a state law that you can NOT sell beer which is over 3.2% alc by weight (with very few exceptions)? Anything over 3.2% is considered a "heavy beer" and can only be purchased in special state run liquor stores (which are few and far between, only being found in the largest metropolitan areas such as Salt Lake City). Actually, there are only 37 of those stores in the entire state! This means that even American piss water beer such as Budweiser has to make a special "low alcohol" version of their brews to sell in Utah! This basically means you need to drink twice as much (or more) to get the same effect as the same brand beer bought in any other state.

Oh... and let's not forget the fact that you can NOT buy alcohol of any sort on Sunday.

Yea, I spent a year in Utah one weekend on the way back from a snowboarding trip... I learned my lesson with that little stop.

I thought that SLI 8x was 4x MS (gpu1) + 4x MS (gpu2) + blend of the resulting images = 8x MS

Somebody should bring some light here

The main advantage of the SLI AA modes, is the lack of micro stuttering. You do not raise your frame rate, but you raise the AA quality.

All SLIAA modes have a 1x2 SS component caused by the merging of the two AA data outputs, 64xS is hybrid mode that works a bit differently. The SS component of SLIAA is slightly rotated but it doesnt sample much of the pixel.

I found the patterns here:
http://techreport.com/articles.x/8574/2

It seems, like when you resolve the samples, you end with 1x2 SS, like you said. With SLI AA 16x, you have 4 texture samples, like when you use SSAA 2x2. So this mode is really interesting.
