Well, we know that, X58 System "work out of the box" with this license. Now, Im curious, does anyone check already if is possible enable SLI just by insert the code among the DSDT system table of other "non approved" platform?
############ USLESS
U should be able to check that by following that mini "how to" (
KEEP IN MIND THAT MAY HARM UOR SYSTEM )
Grab, these two tools.
1.
Intel ACPI Component Architecture
2.
Microsoft ACPI Source Language Assembler
1. ACPI DSDT table are stored in system registry, so dump it ( uor table name may be different ).

6. Reboot. If anything goes wrong ( and u didnt fry uor board and/or any other device ) you can still boot with "Last Known Good configuration" for report if it didnt work

All that tables confuse me
