There is no point to this. Once you close the bridge on the Ultra chip it becomes an SLI chip...its as simple as that. Anandtech already did all the testing and the performance between the modded Ultra and the SLI is exactly the same. Its already been proven. See the link above.

I'm not really sure what Nvidia/DFI will do to make the mod more difficult or impossible, so its hard to say what to look for. If you use something reversable like a pencil mod or conductive grease (like I did) to close the bridge, then there would be nothing harmed by trying.
