    I have 2 questions.

    1. When will the SLI drivers for Vista be available??? I want to run 2x cards at the same time.


    2. Where (in Vista) can i check BOTH graphic cards. I can only find one. And as soon as the drivers are released, where can i turn on the second graphic card?

    1. There are beta Vista Nvidia drivers out that allow SLI'd cards to be used, but nothing official. Nvidia is working on it though, it can't be that much longer.

    2. You should not have to turn on the second card. As long as they are hooked up correctly, all you should have to do is uninstall the old drivers, install the new ones, and then restart.

    When you see the 8800m gtx released, then you can expect the official SLI drivers as that card will be the new flagship. And don't expect that card to be released until late fall.

    Sit tight.

    Dammit... I was hoping to get twin 88's in my college laptop, but I want to have the thing in my hands before move-in-day for the dorms. Looks far-fetched at best...
