Installing Linked PCI Express Graphics Cards
The Desktop Board supports technology that allows you to install linked PCI Express
graphics cards such as NVIDIA* SLI* (Scalable Link Interface) cards. Make sure you
use two identical SLI-ready graphics cards that are NVIDIA certified and the latest
graphics driver. You can use the connector included with the Desktop Board to
connect the two graphics cards together. Visit the NVIDIA zone website
(

) for more information.
