Thanks for the link! Gald to see ATI hard at work.

Just to be clear, can my X38 mobo do SLI if it is the GX2?

The best GX2 link I have found so far: http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA==

600MHz/2000MHz memory

The Geforce 9800 GX2 has finally got its final specification. It has two G92 chips clocked at 600MHz and both of them have 128 Shader units clocked at 1,500MHz.
The memory on a reference card runs at 2,000MHz and it has a 2 x 256-bit memory interface.
Naturally many partners will overclock their cards, but the manufacturer suggested retail price is set at $599 which is $150 more than the current price of a Radeon HD 3870 X2. This is the price for non overclocked Geforce 9800 GX2's while the overclocked models should end up even more expensive.

"The GeForce 9800 GX2 have been dismantled a long time ago, but NVIDIA still holds the card’s detailed specifications tight. But finally we now know their little secret and decide to post it here.

Stream Processors - 256 (128 each GPU)
Core= 600MHz
Shader= 1500MHz
Memory= 1000MHz 1GB (512MB per GPU)
512 bit BUS (256-bit per GPU)
Memory bandwidth 128 GB/sec
Texture filling rate 76.8 Billion/sec

The core clock is similar to 8800GT’s, but as you can see, memory clock raised up to 1000MHz. Also, source mantioned the card supports OpenGL 2.1.(8800GT only supports OpenGL 2.0)".
