As any fule kno, Anandtech figured out how to mod an NForce4 Ultra into an NForce SLI chipset some time ago. It occurs to me though that there's no good reason why you couldn't mod the base model NForce4 non-ultra into an ultra to enable the SATA-II and Active Armor functionality. Compare the chipset photos here:

It seems that the difference is the bridge at the very top right. Anyone got an NForce4 board and fancy trying this?
