J jam3 Member Apr 9, 2003 90 0 0 Oct 24, 2005 #1 So can anyone tell if the new DFI Expert uses the NForce 4 SLI x16? The specs are misleading it says NForce 4 SLI (with no x16) But then goes on to talk about SLI in two x16 PCIe Slots. How would you read this?

When the graphics cards are connected via the SLI bridge, the total bandwidth of the two graphics cards is x16"
