It is my understanding that there needs to be no specific software support to take advantage of SLI. All I can offer is the obvious advice: get plenty of CPU memory, use a 64-bit build of ParaView so that you can use that memory (turning on VTK_USE_64BIT_IDS might be a good idea, too), and run with immediate mode rendering off (Settings -> Render View -> General). However, I have no idea what kind of rendering performance increase you might expect.<BR>
