One thing I have found is that I am disappointed in SLI.  I like that it provides the speed I want, but I also liked being able to have 2 monitors connected for those times that I want to look something up or manage another app while gaming.  If you go SLI you can't go dual monitor, alas.

I will take a look at the boards tonight when I get home.  Sorry, I should have checked earlier today.

Try two 8800GTX cards they work fine. COD4 with one card 245 fps 435 fps with two. all settings on highest.

Then you aren't really SLI, you are just dual cards, which I was doing originally.  Then I needed the SLI for FPS in CoD4.

NO i CAN RUN SLI WITH TWO MONITORS IT GIVES ME THAT OPTION. EVEN IF IT'S NOT TRUE SLI i STILL GET OVER 100 FPS IN COD4

1) stop yelling.

2) Show me the details.  I know for a fact that the current drivers running on my system will NOT let me run dual monitors with SLI active.  If I turn off SLI and instead run dual card mode (there is a difference) I can go dual monitor. I first found out with the previous drivers, and they still haven''t fixed it due to hardware limitations.
