This is very exciting news for me! My hat goes off to the guys involved in this project!!

I always knew SLI was possible on these boards, it was just software getting in the road.

I've got a P5Q Deluxe and 2 GTX 260 sitting here also got a new PSU 750watts to power the extra card. Going to do a clean install of Windows 7 64x and give this a try.. I've read all the information posted on Xtremesystem, xdevs and here.. I have a vague idea what I'm doing but I'm not sure if I've got the latest versions of everything or exactly what order I should do the installs.

I've got;

ACPI 2.0 enabled, before clean install.

SLIStringInstall v1.1

Reboot
Check with Everest?

HALMod v0.9 alpha.zip
http://www.xdevs.com/sli/HALMod v0.9 alpha.zip
Reboot

Done, amiright? Or is it necessary to insert the modified files into system32/drivers??

Thanks guys!
