SLI under Windows 2000 with A8N-SLI Deluxe???

[PaxUX]

I was reading my A8N-SLI Deluxe manual?s section on SLI and it was saying it will only work on Windows XP? Is this true? As I?ve always run Windows 2000 Pro since it came out. I know its 5 years old but it does all I need it to do, i.e. play games! Will SLI work? Has anyone tried it with W2K? I haven?t yet been able to do my own tests since I still need to get 2 PCIe GFX cards.

Way to bump your own thread...

My guess is the manual isnt lying.

I use Windows 2000 on my Asus A8n-SLI Deluxe board and I havent gotten SLI to work on it. When I enable SLI, upon reboot the system will freeze up as soon as the nvidia drivers load in the task tray. I mainly use my 6800 GT's to drive multiple monitors anyways, so I haven't worried about it too much.

I think your answer is no. W2K +SP4 supports booting with nvraid, but I don't think you can twist SLI with W2K.
