Conroe Platforms WIll Not Be Able To Run SLI Graphics
Fudo over at The Inq. says that Intel is not supporting SLI on its Conroe-supporting motherboards. Up until now, he, and his, sources have blamed it all on Nvidia but it turns out that Fudo might be wrong about that. There is a chance that Intel doesn't want to allow Nvidia to run SLI, as it doesn't want to make a big thing about SLI on its own Conroe machines. Interesting news, but we knew this was the case as SLI doesn't work on any Intel 975 Bad Axe motherboards now.
Intel is in the bed with ATI and signed a cross-licensing agreement quite some time ago, the upshot of which is that it officially supports ATI's Crossfire on Intel 975/965 boards. We hear that Intel doesn?t want to let Nvidia's SLI to run on its boards, at least not officially. There will no-doubt be a leaked driver that will allow such a scenario, but even if the high-end tweakers society might be happy about it, none of the system integrators or OEMs will make such a machine as the driver would never be official and WHQL.
