    Patch For SLI on ATI mobos

    It seems that the ULi patcher that was on ASRock's page and then removed due to the evil green team :P has served as the basis for a modded patcher that theoretically should patch any mobo to enable SLI. Thus, if you have a xfire board you might be able to run SLI on it which would mean your choice of vidcard would no longer need to be tied to mobo in a multiple vidcard setup.

    Does it work? Who knows, I think both SLI and xfire are crap but here you go:

    Actually, that's a good call, when Intel actually hits with Conroe you could have both options on a cut above the rest Intel mobo.

    Well, that would require ULi/etc leaking a xfire enabling patch on a non ATI chipset mobo and then someone modding it. Hasn't happened yet...

    just a 5-10% loss in performance

    So, now let's see if it will work on the Intel boards. I bet nvidia is having a coronary right now but this whole segregation of setups is stupid.

    Actually I think nVidia might love this because it means it can complete with Xfire on Intel boards (which are supposed to support it soon)
    with out having to deal with Intel..

    Yeah, I know the conspiracy theories are going round about nvidia intentionally leaking it. But they are still going to lose a crapload on mobo sales and given the vidcard situation currently, it's not like they're gonna sell more cards due to this. I just don't really understand whey they would do this on purpose and why now?
