SLI and Windows 2000 professional

[Tomahawk513]

Hey, does anyone know what the heck is up w/ Windows 2000 and SLI? I used to have the problem where the bottom 2/3 of my screen was white, and the top third was black... I just fixed that, but no games/programs are running SLI. I have enabled it in BIOS, and I am running the latest nVidia drivers (71.25). Here's my rig
AMD FX-53
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
Dual Asus Extreme N6800 Ultras
Link Depot Super-Flower 550 watt PSU (30A on 12v rail)
GeIL pc4000 (1 gig)

Everything is running at stock speeds, SLI mode "works" (as in it allows me to select SLI mode, but doesn't actually utilize two video cards, just the top one) on the motherboard, all the connections are as they should be (Bridge, Dual mode, etc.) so I'm stumped... I've heard of people installing XP and then it worked, but I'm no fan of Windows to begin with, much less XP, and would rather stick w/ 2000 if possible.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Hmmm come to think of it, I have only seen it tested with XP. But in all honesty XP is better than 2K Pro. With a real nice box like that you should go to XP Pro. Check around the net or check out nvidia's website, I am sure there is some info on there.

Why would you spend all that on hardware, and not buy XP? Seems kinda silly.

Agreed. ALso SLI is not supported in many games. I doubt SLI is supported AT all iin anything earlier than XP
