Are All SLI Bridges The Same?

I have 2 8800 gts graphics cards running on an asus m2n32-sli deluxe mobo. however i'm using the sli bridge from an asus a8n-sli mobo because i lost the other one. will this affect performance or are all sli bridges from the same mobo manufacturer compatible with each other?
 
thanks, just not getting the performance I expected, actually 1 card seems to run faster than the 2 in sli mode. I only play World Of Warcraft and did read somewhere that it doesn't benefit from sli. I use the ingame fps meter and definately get a significant performance drop from sli. thought it may be caused by using the different sli bridge. oh well, back to the WWW to try and find a solution :(

I get the same with my sli in WoW. I just use nHancer and turn sli off when i play wow... its faster.

Though the latest drivers did away with Sli bridges ?

Or did I dream that one up ?

It will still be good for other games.

You could try and sell them both and put the money to a GTX. Would certainly be quicker for WoW.
