P5WD2-E Premium supports SLI?

Fathom18 · 05-31-06, 01:46 AM

So, I was wondering if anyone here might know if this motherboard will support SLI even though I was blind and did not see it say "crossfire ready" right on the box.

If anyone knows if it will support SLI, please let me know where i can buy the bridge for it, much thanks.

It does not, under any normal conditions.

But it will with the right drivers......

I will post my findings later this weekend, gonna use 2 7800gt's, so we'll see....

Hopefully i can also obtain the newer drivers for the 7900 series...

Well, seems the drivers are not for XP-64, so i tried to install XP-Pro, but only have the pre SP1 disc, tried to "slipstream" SP-2, didnt work. Long story short, i quit phucking around with it, and reinstalled my X1900's, and my other hd with XP-64 on it....

From what i have heard, the drivers work fine with 32bit xp, but im not gonna waste the time to try and find out, id rather be gaming.....
