It shows to be priced at 120-130 Euros on a couple of European sites which comes out to about $130-145, give or take a $1,000,000.

Echhh Does supporting SLI as opposed to Xfire cost Intel money or something? Does Intel hate team green? I know all these buttmunchers want to take over the world but no SLI support. Why? Seriously, I have had both ATI and Nvidea cards over the years. The AMD cards I have had self destruct could probably support a family of four for a few months. Even my POS work PC gets a BSOD playing flash videos.. Faulting module? ATIXXX... What else.

What bearing does this post have on the MB review? Seriously, I'm not getting a connection at all?????
The more you know......... NVIDIA SLI cannot run in a 4x slot. The slots on this board run at 16x and 4x. So only CFx would be supported. There isn't a conspiracy, its not about money. It is what it is due to the physical setup up the PCIe lanes on this board.
@ Robert - See above.

Sorry, it was more of a comment on the motherboard. And a question about supporting SLI or not. I guess I should have made a new post.

Yeah, I'd read the review and picked up on the PCIe lane set-up. I improperly assumed that BrokenPC had done the same, so didn't understand the rant.

The PCI lane setup for the chipset is what is limiting it though right? I just like the PC architecture so much I don't like to see entire swaths of Video card makers get a key piece of tech removed for what seems fairly trivial. If Auto manufacturers could make wheels and copyright the sizes they would. Anyhow, was not a rant. It's Friday. Not like I am in the market for a 100.00 mobo. I appreciate the education though, been out of it for a while.

Confused.
I was going by the chipset specs where the 170 lists CPU lane support as 1x16 2,8 etc but on the B150 they only support 1x16 so I assumed that you would then have 1x16 port. The rest would have to come from the southbridge.
It is a board thing, not a chipset thing.
A lot of boards break it down to 8x/8x, just not this one.
