    As OPB shows some time ago, MSI boards feature one pci-e x16 slot plus one more x2 slot that works ok to run SLI cards.

    but its not the same as 8/8 right? does it work with the latest drivers? i thought nvidia blocked all other attempts to run sli if its not 8/8 in the latest drivers?

    johnny, does it work with the latest drivers as well?
    and how big is the difference between 4/8(?) and 8/8? can you check with another sli board at stock speeds? thx a lot for the infos so far!

    You guys seem so excited about burst speeds. Take it easy - it doesn't really translate into any real-world performance

    Nice mod, though for future drives!

    Yes, I just thought it was a curious result -- maybe shows what SATAII has in store?
