Asus P5N-D not reconizing SLI OCZ DDR2?

[DarkSeeker]

Hey ya guys,
Little question for you, I just picked up an Asus P5N-D MB today and two 2GBSticks of OCZ DDR2 800 ram (which on the box says its SLI Ready), however, in the Bios (updated to 304 [2008/2/22]) it doesnt seem to detect any SLI memory.

The memory WORKS fine, i haven't had a problem installing anything so far, and it detects all of it, but i was hoping to use SLI feature I paid for 😛

Current system:
Intel Core 2 Quad 6600
2 2GB OCZ DDR2 800 SLI Ready Ram
2 XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog XXX SLI Geforce Cards
Asus P5N-D MB
Corsair 650w psu

Thanks a bunch if anyone knows whats up!

Perhaps your MB doesn't implement the SLI/EPP memory feature?

Apparently only 680i/780i chipsets support SLI memory.

But... what do you expect it will do...? Just do the settings manually, and it will work as well or better than on "automatic SLI" settings.

And welcome to the forums!

Thanks..
well the motherboard says its SLI compatible on asus and even on the box.. in the bios it has a spot to detect it, so i would asume it should be able to use it.. even if it cant use it, id like it to detect it! 😛 I have set the memory myself, were only talking about 2 or 3 frames per second if that difference 😛 so im not taking the system back or nothing over this... its just one of thoes "it would be nice for it to say i have something that i have and its supposed to know i do" things 😛

Just thought if anyone else had the same setup, and it detected it, if they did anything i might have overlooked or not..

Thanks!!

JG - my 650i MB supports SLI memory. I turned it off in the BIOS because I like to set my own settings.
DS - When you say "SLI compatible", do you mean *video* SLI compatible and/or *RAM* SLI/EPP compatible? They're two different things/features. I didn't see anything about SLI/EPP memory on the Asus web site or photo of the box at newegg.
