Yes SLI works with the latest xorg 7.1 and 8774 nvidia drivers.

As for emulators, yeah some game need to run in Wine ( Windows emulator ) , not sure if they have fixed the problems with punkbuster.

Currently i run natively under linux Quake4, Doom 3, UT2004 and soon to be released UT2007, RTCW ET, COD and COD 2 to name a few.

Personally for Windows games that have no native port to linux, i just boot up a minimal install of XP as i have the system setup as dual boot.

Dunno about overclocking in linux but i do have access to the overclocking options for my 7800gtx.

Gonna look into linux overclocking programs, equavilant to clockgen etc and post back some info when i get time.

One of the cool feature we have for linux is XGL.
