Intel blocks Nvidia from running SLI on Conroe platforms
We got some interesting input on Intel not supporting SLI on its Conroe-supporting motherboards. Up until now, we, and our, sources have blamed it all on Nvidia but it turns out we might be wrong about that. There is a big chance that Intel doesn't want to allow Nvidia to run SLI, as it doesn't want to make a big thing about SLI on its own Conroe machines.

Geeks get Quad SLI to work on a 965 Conroe board
Abass from Tbreak - or someome from his gang - managed to run Quad SLI with two 7950 cards on an Intel 965 board with a Conroe CPU.
Not that Nvidia wants people to test Quad SLI but it is more important to see that SLI contept might run on Intel's board after all. Nvidia is under a lot of pressure to enable its marchitecture on the Intel platform and I don't think it has much choice.
The TBreak chap took a Gigabyte 965P motherboard, stuck in a Conroe E6600 that works at 2.4GHz and managed to make two 7950 GX2 cards work together.
