    DFI Ultra D - Sli question

    I got a DFI-Ultra D last week - the strange thing it came with a VGA bridge, does this mean i can run it in SLI mode if i was to add another card to it, i thought these were not SLi compatible.

    There used to be a chipset mod linking 2 bridges that enabled SLI.
    I believe that nVidia later changed the chipset packaging to prevent this but you may be lucky ...

    I'm guessing that they decided to put that in the pack when you could mod it into SLI & no-one has changed it or it's a standard pack across their range. You might want to try the mod
