Conroe not compatible with SLi/7950?

[Pygmy_Shrew]

Sorry guys another Conroe question

Is the new intel CPU not compatible with SLi or more specifically the Geforce 7950 (dual GPU)?

Thanks in advance!

Not yet without drivers that have been modified. Wont belong before nf5 conroe boards are released though

Any eta on that?

I ask purely because I start uni soon and am looking for a major upgrade to last me my 4 years there.

The site im looking to buy it off as I dont have time to make it myself says the MOBO (either one i select, ASUS® P5WD2 PREMUIM or ASUS® P5W DH DELUXE) isnt compatible with the 7950 which is a real pain!

So, sorry let me get this straight.

You're saying theres no reason why the Geforce 7950 shouldn't work with a Conroe E6700 and the motherboards above, ASUS® P5WD2 PREMUIM or ASUS® P5W DH DELUXE ? It should all work fine?

If so I'll email these people and ask them to double check.
