If you are using the older jumper mobo, or the the newer BIOS activated SLI mobos, make sure to set it to single card so that you are getting 16x for the single slot (again, set things up like a single card.)
So does this mean I can run SLI on any mobo, even if it runs on a ATi, Intel, or any other chipsets without SLI performance losses?

BTW, I have some other question:
- If I get a single 7950GX2, how can I watercool it?
- Do I really need to cool the memory if Im going to overclock? Putting ramsinks will make it really hard to pass tubes between the cards, since it obstructs access to the GPU.
- Do I need to cool the little chipset on the bottom card?
