P5W DH Deluxe SLI support?

[hutch1ns]

Does this board support SLI? I just got it today and I'm trying to figure out my video card situation. If it supports SLI I might grab another 7900GT... I just got the board today but I'm waiting for newegg to get conroe in (and to stop being lazy, I have a 5ghz potential 805, runs 4.3ghz in a P5ND2-SLI @ 1.425v.)

It supports crossfire, no SLI.

Is there any hacked drivers or beta drivers that allow it? I know Intel 975/965 chipsets don't officially support it but I could've sworn I've seen it.

I'm also interested in knowing that. I tried searching @ Google about this, but so far I had no luck.

SLI and Crossfire are completely different, as far as I know there isn't a single board that supports both. That would be cool to see, but since ATI and nVidia are such fierce competitors I'd say it's unlike that'll ever happen.

I believe the badaxe board supported it before, however I believe intel said that there will be no SLI support for Core 2 Duo. This doesn't mean that it doesn't work, it just means that intel got some money from ati to not offically support SLI.

If you REALLY want sli, just get a nforce chipset mobo that supports conroe

Is there one out yet?

Damn, I was only out of action for 3 weeks (was in the hospitol, don't worry I'm fine now ) and I fell behind so much on my technology. I just read that DFI has an nforce 590 SLI mobo with conroe support being released soon. DFI 590 conroe

I just ordered an EVGA 7950 and may go for a second one. I am setting some really high goals and really want to smash some records.

Whenever newegg starts selling conroe I'm jumping on an E6600 or possibley the extreme. I've got some plans for cascade cooling (probably going to grab the chilly modded one.)

Patience really is a virtue. It's 4 a.m and I can't sleep trying to install the P5W DH (I stripped a screw on my P5ND2 and can't get it out!) Time to bust out the electric drill!!
