Do they both support SLI?

 

[sickness]

The $196 board supports SLI. The other doesn't.

 

[Apokalipse]

they both support SLI, but the second one is designed better for it

 

[sickness]

Well, don't you have to mod the first board to use SLI?

 

[Flanker]

Yea, the second one supports SLI and the first one doesn't.

I hear you can't mod the Ultra-Ds anymore.

 

[BColes]

If you want SLI you better get the one that says it supports. Like Flanker said you could an Ultra-Dud.

 

[Saint71]

Well im asking because in the bord description it say that it has 2 pci-express 16 slots on the ultra-D.

but they arn't ment for 2 graphics cards to work together

 

[Flanker]

Yea, and they aeren't necessarily for graphics cards either. You might be able to put another type of card in there, like a Uber-crazy sound card or a PhysX card. I'm not aware of anything else that uses a PCI 16x slot, besides a graphics card, but theres always room in the future.
