[right][snapback]488116[/snapback][/right] QUOTEUPDATE 2/05/2005: nVidia has acted to prevent, or at least make it more difficult, to mod the Ultra board to SLI. First, DFI has advised us, and posted on their website, that they will NOT sell the SLI bridge to buyers of the Ultra board. Second, nVidia has advised us that future shipments of the Ultra chipset have been modified so that the mod to SLI will no longer be possible. An additional side effect of this second action is that the "Dual Video" mode, which performs at about 90% of SLI performance levels, will only work with nVidia SLI drivers 66.75 or earlier. If you do a quick check of web driver postings you will see it is now very difficult to find 66.75 drivers. With a chipset modded to SLI the "Dual Video" mode worked through 70.xx versions of the nVidia driver. nVidia also made it clear they will continue to make driver changes to prevent functioning of any "non-standard" (8X/8X) operation of their SLI driver. This also throws into question whether the VIA "dual graphics" mode on the 894 Pro chipset will ever work with nVidia graphics cards. If you are interested in the current UT Ultra-D we suggest you buy one now if you can find it. Future versions of the UT Ultra-D will not have the same capabilities as a result of these actions. ok thanks, good info ------------------------- My GT430 Is Folding For AMD Team 34106 FOR A GOOD CAUSE---Accepting Donations of New, Used, Working, Nonworking PC Components Thanks to KLEETUS for his generous donation of components!!

NetZeroZeus Senior Member Posts: 685 Joined: 06/18/2005	The non-overclocked performance is better, it overclocks higher on stock multiplier than LanParty, so overclocked performance is better, also, it's at least 40 cheaper than LanParty SLI-DR, yet, offers the same exact functions, I say Jetway pulled a big one on us, pretty nice...... ------------------------- Athlon 64 3500+ Venice@275x10 - Mushkin Redline XP4000+@3.2v on 180 div. - DFI LanParty UT Nforce4 Ultra-D - Leadtek 7800GTX@540/1425 ⌐_⌐- Creative Soundblaster Live! 24-bit - Seagate SATA 160Gig HDD - CD-RW - DVD-RW - Antec Truepower 2.0 550w - 1337 Case..not - XP-90C, VF-700Cu and a whole lot of fans

[right][snapback]488286[/snapback][/right] I think that only the DFI boards have voltages that are adequate for BH5 UTT. As it stands though 3.25v isnt bad, compared to what some coughAsuscough boards give you.
