SLI option not showing up. I thought Nvidia drivers 'just worked'

AFAIK if the NF100/200 chip is detected it basically gives SLI a free pass for all configurations. (Atleast that used to be the way as an incentive to try and get manufacturers to put them on their X58/P55 boards). Not sure if this counts when the splitter is on the GPU tho i.e. GTX295 on a non SLI motherboard - I'm guessing that wouldn't then let you use the other lanes in SLI configuration.

Well that explains the Asus Supercomputer then.

If ASRock boards definitely work with Xeon's in SLI then I can only think they're doing something different at the BIOS level, it's a shame Marvin couldn't borrow/trade to an i5/i7 to find out if that is what is indeed the problem as I'm curious now. :p

You and me both...

Figured the NF200 chip would help with the Supercomputer (it's there to give an extra 32 PCI-E lanes or 16?).

The ASRock boards I mentioned are:
P55 Deluxe 3
P55 Extreme 4
P55 Extreme

None have an NF200, but all support Xeons, and SLI.
