RIGHT! all the functionality uses the peer-to-peer writes protocol that's built right into the hardware already.. the same one that CF uses.. seems effing stupid that we need a chip to allow SLI to be authorized for use on a mobo, but I guess Nvidia want's to make their nickle anytime SLI is used.. apparently the sale of the second video card just isn't enough. :P
