Does anybody know if the 955X chipset supports Nvidia SLI? I keep wondering why nobody mentions it, now that it does have the physical ability to plug in 2x 16x pci-e videocards.... Or did I just miss something?.... not that it would be a first for me either... LOL
Yes the board supports the SLI cards but the blue port will only do 16X
and the black port will do 4X with toltal of 20 lanes of bus lanes, and you must have SLI Drivers but at the molment Nvidia does not have any SLI ready drivers because there waiting on the crochfire from ATI to see how it will perform and if drivers need better tweaking.
Mabie Bios Updates Too but I have this board and so far love it but waiting on a new eVGA eGeForce 6800 Ultra Replacment before I will get it to post :).

Get eVGA
Also there are 2 versions of the boards that are out and 1 comes with the TV Tuner/ WIFI card and the other flavor don't come with it and there is a 40 dollar diffrent between prices and http://www.eWiz.com has them in stock and ready to ship asap.

P5WD2 with TV and Wifi PCB
Dear friends,
i'm Italian Boy. I search something that have buy this motherboard with the TV PCI cards.
I would see in the same time anologue, DVB-T and hear Radio.
At this time i need an antenna up my Home. There are 8 people that use the signal of the antennas.
I see the analog TV and if i connect the antenna to the DVB-T connector , i see the digital TV.
What do you thigs for the next Connection:
Cable that come“s from antenna, divide in 2 connector and connect at the same time to the anologue and DVB-T connector. I can only change the settings in the power cinema and so i can see the analog and digital TV and hear radio.
What Porgram do you use for the the TV? I use the power cinema that i have receive from asus with the motherboard.
I have problem with "cold" start of PC , with the video pcb X700 ATI sapphire with the DVI connection.
Next 4 minuts that i have turn on the power , the monitor have no more signal.
If i start another time the PC , is all ok.
Say me soethings please.
