    New computer build

    "Official" DFI nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR Thread

    I thought DFI had shipped me a bad mobo for 3 hours after trying to get SLI working. Turns out I hadn't plugged in the floppy connector to the motherboard, causing SLI not to work. Now all I need to do is find a copy of windows to install.........
