Hi Guys, I finally got my second XFX 6600GT to SLI.

I have the DFI ULtra modded to DFI SLI.

Where Can I get the connector for the video cards?

Also, is there a software SLI'ing???

Thanks.

should have come with your sli motherboard. nvidia purposely dosent let you buy the connectors without a motheboard.

sli can work without connectors. it's slower on faster cards that actually saturate the pci-e slot bandwith but with a 6600gt, you should probably be fine and the difference wont be too big.

as for if you want to buy it, ebay is your only option.

It wont work. ASUS uses 2 slots between the cards, and DFI uses 1. But still, eBay is the way to go!

contact Donna.

She works customer service and RMA for DFI.

Should be $8 for the bridge, $10 shipping. $18 total for a brand new LanParty SLI bridge. Mine works great!
